Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr. D.S. Pheruman, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG, Punjab for the State. ... Alok Singh, J (Oral). Palwinder Kaur has committed suicide by consuming poison after ten years of the marriage. Prosecution story is that she was maltreated for bringing less dowry during the marriage, consequently she has committed suicide. Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that harassment, maltreatment or cruelty without any mens rea to derive Palwinder Kaur to commit suicide, does not amount to abetment under CRM-M No.37583 of 2010 2 Section 107 IPC. He has further argued that all the three material witnesses have not supported the prosecution. I find some substance, prima-facie, in the argued of the learned counsel for the petitioner. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of this case, without commenting on the merits of the case, I direct that the petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
