    Copy of Order

    The Sessions Court dismissed the criminal revision filed by three accused challenging rejection of their discharge application in a 2013 dowry harassment case. The court upheld the lower court's order, finding sufficient prima facie material in the charge-sheet under IPC Section 498A (cruelty to wife) and Dowry Prohibition Act Sections 3 & 4, holding that at the discharge stage, courts need only examine whether grounds exist to presume guilt, not conduct deep evidentiary inquiry or consider defence arguments reserved for trial.
