Order
06/09/2023
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the State
respondent.
2. No one appears for respondent Nos. 2 to 8.
3. The petitioner has challenged the judgment of acquittal
passed in favour of respondent Nos. 2 to 8 dated 31.08.2001 in
Sessions Case No.14/1995 whereby the private respondents were
acquitted of the charge under Section 306 IPC.
4. The prosecution story reveals that father of the informant
was found dead and his dead body was lying on the field side.
[2023:RJ-JP:21476] (2 of 2) [CRLR-1034/2001]
Nearby the dead body, some white powder was noticed and it
revealed that the deceased had consumed the same and
committed suicide. From the pocket of the deceased a note was
recovered which is recited as follows:-
"eSa ?kklhjke (deceased)
rk 18-12- dks tks dk.M esjs lkFk tSrflag] fpeu flag] bZ'oj flag oxSjk us fd;k

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the trial
court had not properly appreciated the aforesaid note which
persuaded the deceased to commit suicide.
6. The law is well settled that to attract the offence under
Section 306 IPC, the suicide must be direct result of abetment of
the accused persons. The intention of the accused to aid or
instigate or abet the deceased to commit suicide is necessary.
7. In the case on hand, there is no evidence that the accused
had any intention while committing offence dated 18.12.1992 to
instigate the deceased to commit suicide. If for some act may be
a criminal act, one himself decides to finish his life, that cannot be
treated as result of abetment caused by the accused persons.
Therefore, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned
judgment of acquittal.
8. Accordingly, this petition stands dismissed.
