1. Omkar Nath father of deceased Savita is aggrieved by the impugned judgment dated August 8, 2013 acquitting respondents Balbir (father-in- law), Beermati (mother-in-law), Rajiv (husband) and Rekha (sister-in- law/nanad) for the offences punishable under Sections 304B/498A/34 IPC.
2. Learned counsel for the appellant contends that the Trial Court failed to appreciate the material fact that the death of Savita was unnatural as she had hanged herself on October 22, 2003 and had suffered hypoxic brain damage due to partial hanging which resulted in her death on November 05, 2003. The version of Dr.R.K.Verma PW-2 that cerebral oedema can occur due to various reasons including disease that can lead to natural death was a general question put and the same could not be the basis to acquit the respondents. The factum of the offence was sought to be concealed by Rajiv
