• Section 306 IPC Abetment to suicide Plea of harassment Husband committed suicide due to alleged bad conduct of his wife In case husband was feeling harassed or mentally disturbed due to alleged illicit relationship of his wife or her bad behaviour and conduct, then harassment and mental disturbance would not constitute offence of abetment – Word ‘instigate’ denotes incitement or urging to do some drastic or unadvisable action and presence of mens rea is a necessary concomitant of instigation – Hence, grant of regular bail.
