Hi all,
Wife "A" filed a private complaint against her husband "B" U/sec 498-A and Under sec 4 & 6 D.P.Act, & before commencement of trial Complainant "A" expired. Her daughter though proceeded with the trial, but her evidence was not sufficient to prove regarding taking and giving of the dowry at the time of marriage as she cannot speak about it. For one reasons or the other the witnesses who attended the marriage not appeared before the court to speak about payment of dowry or about harassment for dowry. During life time of "A" she was thrown out of the house when her daughter was only 10 years Old, and at that tender age the daughter could not understand for what reasons her mother was subjected to harassment, as such the daughter has not spoken anything with regard to dowry harassment suffered by her mother during her life time in her entire evidence.
Now my question is
Can the private complaint lodged by "A" against her husband during her life time be treated as dying declaration to convict her husband, is there any case laws with regard to it. it urgent.
