Dowry Death -- Fine Imposed under Section 304B IPC -- No statutory provision, hence unsustainable
(i) Indian Penal Code, 1860, S.304B -- Dowry Death -- Fine Imposed under Section 304B IPC -- No statutory provision, hence unsustainable -- Section 304B IPC does not prescribe imposition of any fine as part of the sentence. A court can award only such sentence as is prescribed by the statute, and imposition of a fine where the provision contains none amounts to an error requiring correction. (ii) Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, S.389 -- Bail -- Pendency of Appeal Against Conviction -- Granted on conduct during trial -- Bail pending appeal may be granted where the appellant remained on bail throughout trial without misusing the liberty granted, has no criminal antecedents, and undertakes to cooperate in early disposal of the appeal.
