The section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act states that any dowry which is received by a person other than the woman in connection with her marriage must be transferred to her within the specified period.
Further, it the section 6 of the Act states that such dowry, until transferred, is to be held in trust for the benefit of the woman and failure to transfer is punishable with imprisonment and/or fine.
The court referred to the case Bobbili Ramakrishna Raja Yadad & Ors. v. State of Andhra Pradesh., wherein the court held that giving dowry and traditional presents at the time of the wedding does not raise a presumption that such articles are thereby entrusted to the parents-in-law so as to attract the ingredients of Section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
The bench comprising of Justice JK Maheshwari and Justice Sanjay Karol was hearing the present matter.
