Asha Singh Gaharwar vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 18 June, 2009<\/div>\n
                   Page numbers                M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009\n\n     HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH : JABALPUR\n\n           S.B. : HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE S.C. SINHO\n\n                       M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009\n\n                    Smt. Asha Singh Gaharwar\n\n                                  -Vs.-\n\n                     State of Madhya Pradesh\n\n\n\nCounsel for the Applicant         : Shri Ashok Tiwari Advocate.\n\nCounsel for the respondent\/ : Shri L.D.S. Baghel, Deputy\nState                           Government Advocate.\n                         ORDER\n<\/pre>\n
                        (18\/06\/2009)<\/p>\n
     The applicant has filed this petition under section 482 of<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C for the quashment of criminal proceedings pending<\/p>\n
before IInd Additional Sessions Judge, Katni in S.T. No. 38\/05<\/p>\n
for the offence punishable under section 306\/34 of IPC arising<\/p>\n
out of the crime no. 574\/04 registered at police station Katni.<\/p>\n
2.   In brief the prosecution case is that on 21\/09\/04 at Katni<\/p>\n
Civil Line, five persons namely Kishori Lal Gupta, Maya Bai<\/p>\n
w\/o Kishori Lal, Monika D\/o Kishori Lal, Renuka D\/o Kishori<\/p>\n
Lal and Mayank S\/o Kishori Lal committed suicide by<\/p>\n
consuming some poisonous substance.            The matter was
\n                    Page numbers              M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
reported to the police station Katni on which basis a merg was<\/p>\n
recorded. During inquiry of merg it was found that these five<\/p>\n
persons died by consuming some poisonous substance and<\/p>\n
their visras were sent for chemical examination to the<\/p>\n
Forensic Science Laboratory. During investigation, a suicidal<\/p>\n
note, alleged to be written by deceased Kishori Lal has was<\/p>\n
seized where it is alleged that due to the recovery<\/p>\n
proceedings initiated by Oriental Commerce Bank for the<\/p>\n
recovery of loan amount which he has taken from the bank<\/p>\n
concerned, in that recovery proceedings his house was<\/p>\n
wrongly auctioned by the recovery officer Nahida Khatoon,<\/p>\n
Naib Tahsildar. It is further alleged that the other co-accused<\/p>\n
as well as applicant Asha Singh Gaharwar have insulted him<\/p>\n
with regard to the aforesaid recovery proceedings initiated by<\/p>\n
recovery officer hence, Kishorilal and his family members<\/p>\n
have committed suicide. On the basis of suicidal note, police<\/p>\n
has registered a case under section 306 of IPC against the<\/p>\n
applicant   and   other   co-accused   persons.     After    due<\/p>\n
investigation, a charge sheet has been filed which is pending
\n                    Page numbers                M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
presently before the Additional Sessions Judge, Katni.<\/p>\n
Aggrieved by the aforesaid charge sheet, this petition under<\/p>\n
section 482 of the Cr.P.C has been filed for quashment of<\/p>\n
criminal proceedings initiated by the police station Katni.<\/p>\n
3.   It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that<\/p>\n
this Court in M.Cr.C. Nos. 8451\/2005, 8453\/2005 and<\/p>\n
1336\/2006 has already quashed the proceedings against<\/p>\n
other co-accused namely Suresh Kumar Gupta, Prakash and<\/p>\n
Satyapal Grover and thus, the criminal proceedings against<\/p>\n
the present applicant should also be quashed on similar<\/p>\n
grounds.\n<\/p>\n
4.   Having heard learned counsel for the applicant as well<\/p>\n
as the Government Advocate for the State.<\/p>\n
5.   Learned counsel for the applicant Shri Tiwari submits<\/p>\n
that there is not an iota of evidence on record on which basis<\/p>\n
the necessary ingredients for the offence punishable u\/s 306<\/p>\n
of IPC is made out against the applicant. Learned counsel<\/p>\n
further argued that in M.Cr.C. No. 8451\/2005 proceedings<\/p>\n
against other four accused persons have already been
\n                      Page numbers              M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
quashed and applicant has similar case as of other co-<\/p>\n
accused.\n<\/p>\n
6.   In order to implicate a person under Section 306\/34 of<\/p>\n
IPC there should be some material against the said persons<\/p>\n
that they have abetted the deceased to commit suicide. The<\/p>\n
term “Abetted of a thing” has been defined in Section 107, IPC<\/p>\n
which reads thus :\n<\/p>\n
           “107. Abetment of a thing :- A person abets
\n           the doing of a thing; or
\n                 First – Instigates any person to do that
\n           things; or
\n                 Secondly – engages with one or more
\n           other person or persons in any conspiracy for
\n           the doing of that thing, if an act or illegal
\n           omission takes place in pursuance of that
\n           conspiracy, and in order to the doing of that
\n           thing; or
\n                 Thirdly – intentionally aids, by any act or
\n           illegal omission, the doing of that thing.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                 Explanation 1- A person who, by wilful
\n           misrepresentation, or by concealment of a
\n           material fact which he is bound to disclose,
\n           voluntarily causes or procures, or attempts to
\n           cause or procure, a thing to be done, is said
\n           to instigate the doing of that thing.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                 Explanation 2- Whoever, either prior to
\n           or at the time of the commission of offence of
\n           an act, does anything in order to facilitates the
\n           common of that act, and thereby facilitates the
\n                    Page numbers                  M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
          commission thereof, is said to aid the doing of
\n          that act.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
7.   If the provisions of Section 107 IPC is read in<\/p>\n
juxtaposition of the material available on record, it would<\/p>\n
reveal that the entire emphasis has been putforth by the<\/p>\n
prosecution   against    the      present   applicants    are    that<\/p>\n
deceased’s wife Sapna was not prepared to live with him<\/p>\n
therefore, deceased has committed the suicide.<\/p>\n
8.   By taking the shelter under the umbrella of           following<\/p>\n
decisions of the Apex Court, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
applicants has placed reliance on these authorities :-<\/p>\n
     8-I. In State of West Bengal vs. Orilal Jaiswal and<\/a><\/p>\n
another AIR 1994 SC 1418             dealing with offence under<\/p>\n
section 306\/34 IPC the Apex Court held as under:<\/p>\n
              “The Court should be extremely careful
\n       in assessing the facts and circumstances of
\n       each case and the evidence adduced in the
\n       trial for the purpose of finding whether the
\n       cruelty meted out to the victim had in fact
\n       induced her to end the life by committing
\n       suicide. It is transpires to the Court that a
\n       victim committing suicide was hyper sensitive
\n       to ordinary petulance dischord and difference
\n       in domestic life quite common to the society
\n       to which the victim belonged and such
\n       petulance dischord and difference were not
\n       expected to induce a similarly circumstanced
\n       individual in a given society to commit
\n       suicide, the conscience of the Court should
\n       not be satisfied for basing a finding that the
\n                      Page numbers                M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
       accused charged of abetting the offence of
\n       suicide should be found guilty.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     8-II.      In     Padmabai     v.   State    of    MP     1987<\/p>\n
Cri.L.J.1573 it has been held:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             “It is of the essence of the crime of
\n       abetment of suicide that the abettor
\n       should be proved to have substantially
\n       assisted in a commission of the offence
\n       of           suicide.          Investigation,
\n       incitement,provocation,encouragement,
\n       insinuation, solicitation, which words
\n       connote different meanings are, no
\n       doubt, some of the acts, which may
\n       constitute an ‘abetment’ for commission
\n       of suicide. But all such acts or any of
\n       them have to be positive and potent in
\n       nature, of such a degree, that the direct
\n       result of such acts may be none other,
\n       but the commission of suicide.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             Stray         domestic       quarrels,
\n       perfunctory abuses by mother-in-law, to
\n       her daughter-in-law in the Indian Society,
\n       crude and uncultured behaviour by the
\n       ‘in-laws’ or the husband towards his wife
\n       being mundane matters of normal
\n       occurrence in the traditional joint Hindu
\n       families, will not go to form and constitute
\n       ‘abetment’ unless these acts or conduct
\n       singly or cumulatively, are found to be of
\n       such formidable and compelling nature
\n       as may lead to the commission of suicide
\n       or may facilitate in a singular and prime
\n       manner, the commission of the same.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     8-III.     In Mahendra Singh vs. State of MP<\/a> 1995<\/p>\n
Supp.(3)SCC 731 the appellant was charged for an offence
\n                     Page numbers            M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
under Section306\/34 IPC basically based upon the dying<\/p>\n
declaration of the deceased, which reads as under:<\/p>\n
            “My mother-in-law and husband and
\n      sister-in-law (husband’s elder brother’s wife)
\n      harassed me. They beat me and abused me.
\n      My husband Mahendra wants to marry a
\n      second time. He has illicit connections with my
\n      sister-in-law. Because of these reason and
\n      being harassed I want to die by burning.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
     Hon’ble Apex Court considering the definition of<\/p>\n
‘abetment’ u\/s 107 IPC found that the charge and conviction of<\/p>\n
the appellant for an offence u\/s 306\/34 is not sustainable<\/p>\n
merely on the allegation of harassment to the deceased.<\/p>\n
Because none of the ingredients of abetment are attracted on<\/p>\n
the statement of deceased.\n<\/p>\n
     8-IV.      In Ramesh Kumar v. State of Chhatisgarh<\/p>\n
2001(9) SCC 618 Apex Court while considering the charge<\/p>\n
and conviction for an offence u\/s 306\/34 IPC on the basis of<\/p>\n
dying declaration recorded by an Executive Magistrate were<\/p>\n
she stated that previously there had been quarrel between the<\/p>\n
deceased and her husband and on the day of occurrence she<\/p>\n
had a quarrel with her husband who had said that she could<\/p>\n
go anywhere she wanted to go and thereafter she had poured<\/p>\n
kerosene on herself and had set fire. Acquitting the accused<\/p>\n
Apex Court held :\n<\/p>\n
          ” A word uttered in a fit of anger or
\n     emotion without intending the consequences
\n     to actually follow can not be said to be
\n                    Page numbers                  M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009<\/p>\n
      instigation. If it transpires to the court that a
\n      victim committing suicide was hypersensitive
\n      or    ordinary       petulance,    discord   and
\n      differences in domestic life quite common to
\n      the society to which the victim belonged and
\n      such petulance, discord and differences were
\n      not expected to induce a similarly
\n      circumstances individual in given society to
\n      commit suicide, the conscience of the court
\n      should not be satisfied for basing a finding
\n      that the accused charged of abetting the
\n      offence of suicide should be found guilty.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
9.    I have gone through the FIR, merg report alongwith<\/p>\n
suicidal note of Kishorilal as well as statements recorded u\/s<\/p>\n
161 of Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n
10.   Looking to the suicidal note as well as other statements<\/p>\n
of prosecution witnesses it cannot be said that deceased<\/p>\n
committed suicide due to abetment by applicant hence no<\/p>\n
case is made out against applicant on whose basis prima<\/p>\n
facie a charge u\/s 306 of IPC can be framed against the<\/p>\n
applicant.   In   such   circumstances,    the    entire    criminal<\/p>\n
proceedings registered against the applicant is liable to be<\/p>\n
quashed.\n<\/p>\n
                    Page numbers               M.Cr.C. No. 4705\/2009\n\n11.   In the result, this petition is allowed.    The criminal\n\n<\/pre>\n
proceedings pending against the applicant before the<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge, Katni in S.T. No. 38\/05 for the<\/p>\n
offence punishable under section 306 of IPC is hereby<\/p>\n
quashed.     A copy of this order be sent to the trial court for<\/p>\n
information and compliance.\n<\/p>\n
                                           (S.C. Sinho)
