Delhi High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>Sunil Gaur, J., dismissed a set of petitions filed by the husband and in-laws of the deceased\u00a0impugning the order whereby\u00a0they were put on trial for the offence inter alia under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC.<\/p>\n

As per the prosecution, the deceased had made a call to Police Control Room regarding she being beaten by her in-laws. When the police reached her house, she said that she would make a complaint to the Crime Against Women Cell on the next day. Next day, when the police again reached the spot, they found\u00a0broken bangles and blood on the floor. The TV was switched on with full volume. The petitioners were absconding. the deceased was found hanging from the ceiling fan.<\/p>\n

Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra assailed the impugned order and drew the Court’s attention to the alleged suicide note. It was pointed out that the deceased’s father had affirmed that the note was in the handwriting of the deceased. It was submitted that it was a case of suicide and there was no basis to frame a charge of murder.<\/p>\n

The High Court was of the opinion,\u00a0“No doubt, it is recorded in the post-mortem report that the cause of death, in this case, was asphyxia due to ante mortem\u00a0hanging and the suicide note is in the handwriting of deceased, but this by itself cannot rule out the possibility of murder being committed by petitioners. It is so said because the suicide note is undated\u00a0and the aspect of ante-mortem hanging cannot be considered in abstract…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noting that at the initial stage, only prima facie opinion is to be formed, the Court stated,\u00a0“Whether death of deceased was homicidal or suicidal is an aspect which cannot be pre-judged at this initial stage. In any case, the presence of lividity over the back and other areas prima facie justifies framing of charge under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In such view of the matter, the Court found no merit in the petitions and therefore the same were dismissed. [Sukhbir Kataria v. State (NCT of Delhi), 2019 SCC OnLine Del 7603<\/b><\/a>, Order dated 12-03-2019]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
