पति को दहेज प्रताड़ना के फर्जी मामले में फंसाना एक युवती को भारी पड़ गया। मंगलवार को अपर सत्र न्यायाधीश की कोर्ट ने पत्नी को दहेज प्रताड़ना के फर्जी मामले में फंसाकर पति को आत्महत्या के लिए विवश करने का दोषी करार दिया है। कोर्ट ने पत्नी को सात साल की कैद की सजा सुनाते हुए 10 हजार रुपये का जुर्माना भी लगाया। पत्नी को जेल भेज दिया गया।

अभियोजन पक्ष के मुताबिक राजेश केसरवानी व श्रद्धा वर्मा उर्फ सरला ने 20 मई 2011 को आर्यसमाज मंदिर में प्रेम विवाह किया था। सरला शादी के 25 दिन बाद ही मायके लौट गई और राजेश पर दहेज प्रताड़ना समेत कई केस कर दिए। फर्जी मुकदमों से परेशान होकर पति राजेश ने 24 मार्च 2012 को फांसी लगाकर आत्महत्या कर ली। मरते समय पति ने सूइसाइड नोट लिखा और उसमें पत्नी को अपनी मौत का जिम्मेदार बताया था। घटना की प्राथमिकी मृतक के भाई राकेश केसरवानी ने हुसैनगंज थाने पर लिखाई थी।

जांच के बाद पुलिस ने पत्नी को पति को आत्महत्या के लिए उकसाने का दोषी पाया और आईपीसी की धारा 306 के तहत आरोपपत्र दाखिल किया। कोर्ट में ट्रायल के दौरान अपर सत्र न्यायाधीश एएन पांडेय ने पत्नी को शादी के बाद से ही पति को प्रताड़ित करने का दोषी पाया था। मंगलवार को फैसला सुनाते हुए उन्होंने आरोपित सरला को सात साल की सजा सुनाई है।

Throw out baseless allegations in abetment to suicide cases: Supreme Court

Throw out baseless allegations in abetment to suicide cases: Supreme Court

New Delhi, August 19, 2010

Without specific material or evidence, it'll be hazardous to ask accused to face trial

Observing that a criminal trial is not a pleasant experience, the Supreme Court has held that unless there are specific material and evidence of abetment to suicide, it will be hazardous to ask the accused to face trial.

Asking courts to be extremely cautious in convicting the accused in abetment to suicide cases, a Bench of Justices V.S. Sirpurkar and Cyriac Joseph noted that a person who took his own life would not be available for cross- examination, to verify the allegations made in the suicide note.

Writing the judgment, Justice Sirpurkar said baseless and irrelevant allegations could not be used for prosecution for a serious offence under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) of the Indian Penal Code.

“In such matters, there must be an allegation that the accused had instigated the deceased to commit suicide, or secondly, had engaged with some other person in a conspiracy, and lastly, that the accused had in any way aided in any act or illegal omission to bring about the suicide,” the Bench said.

“The intention of the accused to aid or to instigate or to abet the deceased to commit suicide is a must for this particular offence under Section 306.”

Verdict quashed

In the instant case, Madan Mohan Singh filed an appeal against a judgment of the Gujarat High Court, which refused to quash the First Information Report against him for abetment to suicide by Deepakbhai Krishnalal Joshi, who had been working as driver in a company under the appellant. It was alleged in the FIR, registered at the instance of the victim's wife, that Joshi had committed suicide due to harassment by Singh. A suicide note was cited in support of the FIR. Allowing Singh's appeal, the Supreme Court pointed out that the FIR itself was registered 24 days after the death of Joshi. Moreover, it did not disclose any specific offence against the appellant. “We could not find anything in the FIR or in the so-called suicide note which could be suggested as abetment to suicide”, the Bench said and quashed the proceedings.
