The brief facts of the case are as follows: The deceased, who is the father-in-law of Accused No.1, who is not before this Court has harassed the deceased along with her family members; hence, the deceased committed suicide and also he left a suicide note, on the basis of which the wife of the deceased lodged a complaint, a case was registered and after completion of investigation, the present charge sheet is filed arraying these persons also as accused in the present case. Heard. The entire reading of the suicide note and also the charge sheet filed by the respondent-police, this Court is of the view that as far as the petitioner Nos. 2 to 5 are concerned, there is no specific allegations for attracting an offence under Section 306 IPC. The only allegation one day prior to Deepavali, when the deceased went to the house of the 1st petitioner herein, all the petitioners abused him and necked him out from the house in the presence of the elders i.e. on 26.10.2008. The deceased committed suicide on 19.11.2008 nearly after 20 days. One said incident that happened prior to 20 days, may not be a reason or cannot be construed as a inducement to commit suicide. As far as the 1st petitioner and accused No.1 Pathipati Usha, who is not before this Court, some allegations are there. Hence, the Sessions Case No. 64 of 2011 on the file of Addl. Assistant Sessions Judge, Chittoor against petitioner Nos. 2 to 5-accused Nos. 3,4,5 and 6 alone are hereby quashed. However, the accused Nos. 1 and 2 are directed to face the trial. With the above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. _________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 2.12.2011 CHV
