Kamaljit Kaur, <\/em>2008 (2) RCR (Criminal) 562, would show that the said case was also a case under Section 306 IPC in which two persons i.e., husband of the accused and their son had committed suicide and there was a suicide note to the effect that Kamaljit Kaur, wife of the deceased was a lady of bd character and had illicit relations with three persons and in the suicide note, it was stated that action should be taken against such a woman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the above case, <em>after considering the provisions of Sections 306 and 107 of Cr.P.C., it was observed by the Sessions Court as well as by this Court that even in a case where the wife is alleged of being a woman of easy virtue, then also, it cannot be said that she has instigated or aided the commission of suicide and had observed that in case the husband was feeling harassed or mentally disturbed due to the alleged illicit relationship of his wife, then the harassment and mental disturbance would not constitute the offence of abetment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court noted that the petitioners were in custody since 12-10-2021 and the challan had already been present and there was total of 21 prosecution witnesses, none of whom were examined, hence the trial was likely to take some time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court also stated that in the present case, whether an offence under Section 306 IPC was made out or not, would be a debatable issue, which will be finally adjudicated during the course of the trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, the petitioners were ordered to be released on bail and in addition to this Court stated that if any act was done by the petitioners to threaten or influence the complainant or any other witnesses, then it would be open to the State to move an application for cancellation of bail.
