    JudgmentView PDF

    Summary of State v. Manjunatha (SC.No.185/2020) Court Decision: All 12 accused were acquitted on April 2, 2026. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the essential ingredients of abetment of suicide (IPC §306). While witnesses testified that accused members used abusive language toward the deceased (Dasashetty) on April 23, 2016, leading to his suicide by poison, the judge held that mere verbal abuse without evidence of deliberate instigation does not constitute abetment. Key prosecution witnesses turned hostile, and the primary witnesses were interested parties (deceased's family). The court ruled insufficient evidence existed proving the accused intended to instigate the suicide. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
