The directions came while the Court was monitoring compliance with its December 2025 judgment in State of Uttar Pradesh v. Ajmal Beg, in which it had highlighted the continued prevalence of dowry and called for steps to improve enforcement of the law.
That judgment arose from the death of a 20-year-old woman who had been married for just over a year and was allegedly subjected to demands for a colour television, a motorcycle and ₹15,000 in cash.
The trial court had convicted her husband Ajmal Beg and his mother Jamila Beg under Sections 304B (dowry death) and 498A (cruelty by husband and his family) IPC and the Dowry Prohibition Act.
The Allahabad High Court later overturned their convictions.
