Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Additional Sessions Judge summoning the appellants as additional accused under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, in connection with the abetment of suicide of the deceased Rajni. The Court emphasized that the testimonies indicated that both appellants participated in the harassment and blackmail of the deceased, which contributed to her suicide. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the revision application, reinforcing the necessity of summoning the appellants for a fair trial under Sections 306 and 509 IPC.
