Broken relationships don't inherently amount to abetment of suicide: Supreme Court

India Today  

The Supreme Court on Friday said that broken relationships, while emotionally difficult, do not necessarily amount to abetment of suicide unless there is evidence of intent to commit a criminal act. A bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and Ujjal Bhuyan overturned the Karnataka High Court's conviction of Kamaruddin Dastagir Sanadi, who had been sentenced to five years in prison for cheating and abetment of suicide under the Indian Penal Code, which has now been replaced by Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A trial court acquitted him of all charges, but the Karnataka High Court later convicted him on charges of cheating and abetment of suicide following an appeal by the state. "Surely, until and unless some guilty intention on the part of the accused is established, it is ordinarily not possible to convict him for an offence under Section 306 IPC," the court said.
