KISHORI LAL vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 306 IPC for abetting the suicide of his wife, Rajkumari, who committed suicide on 31.8.1982. The Court emphasized that abetment requires instigation, conspiracy, or intentional aid, as defined in Section 107 IPC. The evidence presented by the prosecution, including testimonies from the deceased's family, was deemed sufficient to establish the appellant's role in the abetment, leading to the affirmation of the five-year sentence imposed by the Trial Court.
