Dowry Death--Soon before death--Words "Soon before her death" occurring in section 304-B of Penal Code, are to be understood in relative and flexible sense--Those words cannot be construed as lying down a rigid period of time to be mechanically applied in each case--Whether or not the cruelty or harassment meted out to the victim for or in connection with the demand of dowry was soon before her death and the proximate cause of her death, under abnormal circumstances, would depend upon the facts of each case--There can be no fixed period of time in this regard--Penal Code, 1860, Section 304-B.
