Ravindra Pyarelal Bidlan And Others vs State Of Maharashtra on 12 February, 1993

In the case of Ravindra Pyarelal Bidlan v. State of Maharashtra, 1993 Cri LJ 3019 this Court though observed that to bring the guilt at home under the provisions of Section 498A, mere harassment or mere demand for property is not sufficient and that there must be sufficient gravity so as to lead a reasonable person in a similar circumstance to commit suicide. However, the learned brother has not illustrated the examples which could be said of grievous nature or of the gravity which will amount to cruelty under the provisions of Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. Whether to consider harassment, beatings, taunting and humiliation, as grievous or serious, depends on person to person. The stone-hearted woman may not care of the taunts while the young girls who are prone to be offended by such taunting, harassment beating and humiliation take it otherwise. The constant harassment and humiliation is nothing but an abetment to end life. Thus, the ratio of the case cited supra cannot be taken universally in all the cases.
