Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a petition under Section 482 CrPC, affirming that no prima facie case was established against the appellant under Section 306 IPC for abetment of suicide. The Court noted that the appellant had been residing in the USA since September 2019, prior to the deceased's suicide on March 5, 2020, and there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate her involvement or instigation. The Court emphasized that general allegations without specific evidence do not suffice to establish culpability under Section 306 IPC.
