casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court acquitted Hans Raj of abetting his wife's suicide under Section 306 IPC, finding the prosecution had improperly improved its case by introducing allegations at trial that were never stated during investigation. While the court confirmed he was addicted to bhang and quarrels occurred with his wife, it held the alleged cruelty insufficient to invoke the presumption under Section 113-A IPC. However, the court convicted him under Section 498-A IPC (cruelty to wife) and sentenced him to one year's rigorous imprisonment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
