Posted by 498A_Crusader on June 23, 2007
NEW DELHI, June 20: The Supreme Court has ruled that a person cannot be convicted for abetting the suicide of another, merely on the allegation that the accused subjected the victim to harassment. “In cases of alleged abetment of suicide there must be proof of direct or indirect acts of incitement to the commission of suicide. The mere fact that the husband treated the deceased wife with cruelty is not enough,” ruled a Bench.
