    Summary of Sessions Case No. 123/2017 The Mahesana District Court acquitted the accused, Rachna W/DO Arunakumar Bhanupraksah Jain, of abetting suicide charges under IPC Section 306. Although the deceased husband died by ingesting rat poison, the court found insufficient evidence that the wife's alleged harassment and demands regarding property and children's education directly drove him to suicide. The court held that mere marital discord and harassment, without clear proximate incitement establishing the victim had no alternative but to commit suicide, cannot sustain conviction under Section 306.
