The Supreme Court said that scolding someone cannot be considered to be instigated for suicide. Along with this, the court rejected the order of the Madras High Court. In which the hostel warden was convicted of provoking the student for suicide under the IPC stripe 306.
The bench of Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra said- no one can imagine that scolding can lead to such an incident. In fact, the warden scolded another student on the complaint of a student.
After this, the student hanged in his room. The warden argued that he had scolded the student as a parent, so that he would not make a mistake. The warden had said that there was no personal relationship between him and the suicide students.
In December 2024, the Supreme Court had said that a person can be blamed for the abetment of someone’s suicide only when there is a strong evidence of this. The charge of harassment is not enough for this.
In fact, the Gujarat High Court refused to acquit a woman’s harassment and forcing her to commit suicide.
The bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice PB Varlet acquitted the High Court’s decision.
The Supreme Court in November 2024 admitted that breaking a breakup or marriage promise could not cause suicide. However, the person may be emotionally disturbed when such promises are broken. If he suicide, no other person can be considered a criminal for this.
The Supreme Court, in its judgment, gave the decision of the Karnataka High Court. The High Court convicted the accused Kamaruddin Dastagir Sunadi for cheating and provoking suicide from his girlfriend.
The High Court sentenced the accused to jail for 5 years in jail and 25 thousand fine. However, the trial court acquitted the accused. The case was heard by a bench of Justice Pankaj Mittal and Ujjal Bhuiyan.
He considered the case as a normal breakup case, not considering the criminal case.
