State Of West Bengal vs Orilal Jaiswal And Another on 25 September, 1993
In State of West Bangal v. Orilal Jaiswal and Anr., [ 1994] 1 SCC 73, this
Court has cautioned that the Court 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 had in fact induced her to end the life by committing suicde. If it
transpires to the Court that a victim committing suicide was hypersensitive
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.
