E. Balakrishnama Naidu vs State Of Andhra Pradesh on 19 November, 1991

In E. Balakrishnama Naidu v. State of Andhra Pradesh (1992 Cri LJ 2328), the accused husband was acquitted of the offence under Section 498A, I.P.C. but convicted under Section 306, I.P.C. by the learned trial Judge. There was no appeal against his acquittal under Section 498A, I.P.C. The accused filed appeal against his conviction under Section 306, I.P.C. However, the High Court found the accused guilty under Section 498A, I.P.C. but set aside his conviction under Section 306, I.P.C. The prosecution case was that the deceased was harassed for not begetting children. The Apex Court held that the prosecution evidence that the accused harassed the deceased for not begetting the children and caused her mental agony and abetted her to commit suicide was not satisfactory and acceptable and, as such, the finding of the High Court acquitting the accused under Section 306, I.P.C. was affirmed. However, the conviction of the accused under Section 498A, I.P.C. was set aside because no appeal against the acquittal was filed by the State.

State Of Punjab And Anr vs Kirpal Singh Bhatia & Ors on 29 August, 1975

In State of Punjab v. Kirpal Singh (1992 Cri LJ 2472), a married woman committed suicide within few months of her marriage. It was alleged that her husband and in-laws started maltreating her for bringing inadequate dowry and coercing her to bring more dowry from her parents. Her relatives were not permitted to see her on the pretext that she was sleeping. She also complained that she had been harassed by her husband and in-laws to bring more dowry and that on that count, she consumed poison. There was no reliable evidence of torture or cruelty by her in-laws for bringing insufficient dowry. The learned trial Judge acquitted the accused persons of the offence under Section 306, I.P.C. The Apex Court dismissing State's appeal against acquittal held that by the mere fact that deceased committed suicide within few months of her marriage, no inference of abetment can be drawn against the husband and in-laws specially when there was no reliable evidence of torture or cruelty for bringing insufficient dowry.
