Live Law  

Discharging Congress MP Dr. Shashi Tharoor of the charges of cruelty and abetment to suicide in connection with Sunanda Pushkar death case, a Delhi Court has observed that there was no prima facie willful conduct on his part likely to drive Pushkar to commit suicide and that in absence of sufficient material, Tharoor cannot be compelled to face the rigmaroles of a criminal trial.The Delhi. Discharging Congress MP Dr. Shashi Tharoor of the charges of cruelty and abetment to suicide in connection with Sunanda Pushkar death case, a Delhi Court has observed that there was no prima facie willful conduct on his part likely to drive Pushkar to commit suicide and that in absence of sufficient material, Tharoor cannot be compelled to face the rigmaroles of a criminal trial. In the discharge order running 176 pages, the Court also appreciated the painstaking efforts of the Investigating Officer and the SIT to collect, analyze and review all available material meticulously, however, while doing so, the Court observed that the charge-sheet appeared to have been filed in the hope that perhaps "the Court would find some material to proceed with the trial against the accused." While discharging Tharoor in the matter, the Court concluded thus: "In view of the above discussion, the uncontroverted allegations made as well as the material collected during the investigation, even if they are taken at their face value and accepted in their entirety, do not prima facie disclose the commission of offences punishable under Sections 498-A or 306 of IPC against the accused."
