The Delhi High Court has clarified that only harassment cannot be considered as the basis of abetment to suicide. In cases of suicide, it is also necessary to take care of the emotional and mental state of a person. In this context, the court has banned the arrest of his wife and son in a case of suicide of a person.

The Delhi High Court has clarified that the disputes between husband and wife or family cannot be seen as abetment to suicide. In this context, the court has provided protection from arrest to the woman and her son in a case. Justice Ravinder Dudeja said that in cases of abetment to suicide, it is necessary to pay attention to the mental state of such persons, such as emotional or mental weakness.

The court has clarified that motivating a person for crime, joining the conspiracy or deliberately helping someone to do so is like provoking. Only oppression cannot be considered sufficient to provoke. Marriage or family disputes cannot be seen as only quarrels or fighting as a fight.

The judge clarified that there is not always an element of abetment in suicide cases. The court would have to determine whether the behavior of the accused was such that a normal person could be motivated to commit suicide. The court said that the standard of abetment is that a normal person will commit suicide, not someone who is highly sensitive and unstable. The comment was made while granting anticipatory bail to a woman and her son, who are facing allegations of allegedly provoking her husband's suicide. The person died on 30 April last year.

The lawyer of the accused presented an argument that the deceased had a tendency to commit suicide and was taking mental treatment in various hospitals. He also alleged that the deceased used to force his wife to have unnatural sex, and even his sons had seen him sexually abusing him again and again.

The lawyer said that the wife had lodged an FIR against her husband. When the husband came to know about this, he threatened to implicate his wife by committing suicide and writing suicide note. The prosecution opposed the bail petitions, saying that the husband had left a WhatsApp message before his death, in which he clearly mentioned that wife and sons tortured and poisoned him.

The petitioners presented medical records of the individual, which made it clear that he was suffering from depression. There was also a history of his unusual behavior and suicide tendency. The court focused on the tape of the recorded conversation while giving relief to the petitioners, which was found to be abusing the petitioners.
