Penal Code, 1860–Secs. 304-B & 498-A–Conviction–Sustainable against whom ?–Nothing on record to show that the appellant B actively made the demand of money or sought to utilize the amount for his benefit–Merely fact of staying together with accused D does not lead to any positive conclusion
that each of them was actively involved in demanding the additional dowry–In such type of case where the reverse burden is on defence, the prosecution is to adduce some evidence to suggestively implicate a relative–Held, appellant B is entitled to be acquitted.
