ORDER

This appeal is by the two appellants who have been convicted under sections 306 and 498A of the IPC by the learned sessions judge and have been sentenced to imprisonment for seven years for conviction under section 306 and three years for conviction under section 498A. The prosecution alleged that during the life-time of the first wife-Kalindi, Shiv Charan married for the second time, Mohini, but after marriage both Kalindi and Shiv Charan tortured Mohini as a result of which she ultimately committed suicide by burning herself. The incident occurred inside the house of Shiv Charan while Kalindi and Shiv Charan were in one room and Mohini was in some other room. The learned sessions judge on appreciation of evidence of PWs 1, 2 and 3 came to the conclusion that prosecution has been able to prove both the charges against both Kalindi and Shiv Charan beyond reasonable doubt and convicted both as already said.
