    Summary The Gujarat High Court acquitted all five defendants in Session Case No. 18/2022, finding insufficient evidence to prove charges of abetment of suicide under IPC Sections 498A, 306, 323, and 114. Despite the prosecution's claim that the deceased woman (Shanafatema) was subjected to cruelty by her husband and in-laws leading to her suicide by hanging on September 2, 2021, the court determined that key prosecution witnesses—including the deceased's parents—contradicted the abetment narrative during cross-examination, while medical and investigative evidence failed to corroborate allegations of pre-suicide harassment or domestic cruelty.
