Kasinathan, Velayutham And Arjunan vs State, Represented By Inspector Of ... on 19 September, 2005

In the case on hand when the above principle laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court is applied, firstly it could be seen that even according to all the material prosecution witnesses since about not less than four to six years the appellant/accused was, apart from subjecting his wife to cruelty, was also abusing her in filthy language and asking her to die. Though none of the witnesses have given any specific incident as to under what circumstances or with what intention the accused is alleged to have uttered those words 'go and die', as such, the mere uttering of the words 'go and die' in the course of alleged abusing of his wife by itself in the circumstances of the present case, cannot be considered as the accused having any intention or illwill to instigate his wife to make her to commit suicide.

State Of W.B vs Orilal Jaiswal on 23 September, 1993

In State of W.B. v. Orilal Jaiswal, this Court has observed that the courts should be extremely careful in assessing the facts and circumstances of each case and the evidence adduced in the trial for the purpose of finding whether the cruelty meted out to the victim Crl.A.No.262/2014 62 had in fact induced her to end the life by committing suicide. If it transpires to the court that a victim committing suicide was hyper- sensitive to ordinary petulance, discord and differences in domestic life quite common to the society to which the victim belonged and such petulance, discord and differences were not expected to induce a similarly circumstanced individual in a given society to commit suicide, the conscience of the court should not be satisfied for basing a finding that the accused charged of abetting the offence of suicide should be found guilty."
