IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CRIMINAL - APPELLATE JURISDICTION - CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.1358 of 2008 - Satish Shetty …..Appellant - Versus - State of Karnataka …..Respondent. Once the prosecution succeeds in establishing the component of cruelty leading to conviction under Section 498A, in our view only in a rare case, the Court can refuse to invoke the presumption of abetment, if other requirements of Section 113A of the Evidence Act stand satisfied.
