IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.5172 of 2009 DATE: 22.12.2011 Between: Kaniyala Ranjith and 3 others …… Petitioners And The State of A.P. rep. by its Public Prosecutor and another …… Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.5172 of 2009 ORDER : The petitioners 1 to 4/A-1 to A-4 are accused of offence punishable under Section 306 I.P.C. It is alleged that there were money dealings between the deceased and the accused and that the accused collected huge amounts from the deceased and that the accused took away the deceased and sent him back and misbehaved with the deceased and family members using filthy language. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that there are no allegations touching Section 107 I.P.C and that therefore, the petitioners cannot be prosecuted for the offence under Section 306 I.P.C. It is contended that mere threat or insult or intimidation resulting in commission of suicide by the deceased would not attract the offence under Section 306 I.P.C. The circumstances leading to death of the deceased are questions of fact. It is not known what was the language used by the accused towards the deceased and his family members while allegedly misbehaving with them and whether there are any utterances touching ingredients of Section 107 I.P.C. therein. It is a matter for trial. On mere look at allegations in the charge sheet, this Court is unable to find whether the case will not come under Section 306 I.P.C. 2) Hence, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J December 22, 2011 ksh
