This is an appeal filed by the State impugning a judgment and order passed by the IInd Ad-hoc Addl. Sessions Judge, Sangli on 8/4/2004 acquitting the accused for the offences punishable under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. On perusal of the impugned judgment and order, it is evident that the same is based upon cogent and acceptable reasons. It was the prosecution case that the deceased Suchitra was working in the Civil Hospital, Sangli and was registrar in : 2 : the department of Anaesthesia. The accused no.1 was serving as associate professor and the accused no.2 was serving as lecturer in the said department and they were superior officers to the deceased Suchitra. Deceased Suchitra was supposed to have ended her life with anaesthetic drug on account of harassment at her working place. When the dead body of Suchitra was sent for post-mortem, no anaesthetic drug was discovered and there were also negative C.A.Reports. So far as suicide note is concerned, three suicide notes were found of which two were undated and one was dated 13/4/01 which was ten days prior to the incident in question. Allegations of harassment at the working place also pertained to causing inconvenience to her, sending her to Miraj Mission Hospital and not granting her leave. 2. In this view of the matter, the said official acts don’t amount to : 3 : abetment to suicide. View taken is a possible view. Hence, leave is refused and consequently, the appeal stands dismissed.
