The Supreme Court has provided relief to a husband in a dowry case, ruling that demands for gold ornaments during a child's 'Chhoochhak' ceremony do not constitute dowry. While upholding a conviction for cruelty under Section 498A of the IPC, the court set aside the sentence for dowry death under Section 304B. The case involved a wife and child found dead after a demand for gold during a post-birth ceremony.
