Rather, it was extremely courageous of this boy to testify against his sole living parent after the death of his mother not once but thrice,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have no hesitation to hold that the prosecution has successfully and conclusively established that Santosh was subjected to cruelty by Manohar Lal and that he abetted the suicide of his wife. Resultantly, accused Lal is held guilty under sections 498A (subjecting woman to cruelty)\/ 306 (abetment to suicide) of the IPC and stands convicted accordingly,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>According to prosecution, the woman had committed suicide at her matrimonial house by consuming pesticide in July, 2012.

Lal threatened that he would kill her or else she should die.<\/p>\n<p>After sometime, his father told the children that their mother has consumed something and she was lying on floor, the child deposed in the court.<\/p>\n<p>The court in its judgment said that &#8220;from the evidence, it can be safely concluded that sum total and cumulative effect of the circumstances coupled with the regular beatings and ill-treatment meted to the woman by the man drove her to commit suicide&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nine-year-old boy&#8217;s deposition before a Delhi court on the cruel treatment meted out to his mother has landed his father in jail for six years for abetting her suicide.
