HARBHAJAN SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

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 a case of abetment of suicide under Section 306 IPC. The Court found sufficient evidence indicating that the appellants, along with Sarabjit Singh, had harassed the deceased by threatening to defame her with obscene photographs, leading to her suicide. The Court affirmed that the testimonies provided by witnesses supported the claim of abetment, thus allowing the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision application.
