Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Gujarat High Court's decision to quash the FIR related to the suicide of Shaileshkumar Chimanbhai Patel. The court emphasized the importance of allowing investigations to proceed in cases of alleged abetment of suicide, particularly where multiple accused are involved. The judgment reinstates the FIR, highlighting the necessity for a thorough inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the deceased's death.
