Which of the following cases is not related to the offence of dowry death?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Badruddin v State of U.P. is an ordinary murder case under sections 302/34 IPC with no dowry setting, so it is the case "not related to the offence of dowry death". Kamesh Panjiyar v State of Bihar and Prem Singh v State of Haryana directly concern dowry death under section 304B, and Kundula Bala Subrahmanyam v State of A.P. concerns a dowry-motivated bride burning.
Current law: For offences governed by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 from 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is section 80. The statutory dowry-death provision continues; the historical judgments' offences and factual settings should not be conflated.
