It was alleged that a suicide note was found which clearly demonstrated that no option was left for the deceased, but to take the extreme step, because of the aggressive behavior of the co-accused i.e., mother of the petitioner, due to instigation on the part of the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\"> Reliance was placed on <i>Sanju<\/i> v. <i>State of M.P.<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/9IjPAFp4\">(2002) 5 SCC 371<\/a>, wherein it was found that the alleged abusive words were used by the accused against the deceased, two days prior to the date when the deceased was found hanging. In these circumstances, the Supreme Court found it fit to quash the criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further reliance was placed on <i>M. Mohan<\/i> v. <i>State<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/anpf2Ovk\">(2011) 3 SCC 626<\/a>, wherein the Supreme Court emphasized that there ought to be a proximate link between the incidents alleged against the accused and the suicide by the deceased. On the facts of the said case, it was found that when the alleged incidents had taken place about four days prior to the suicide committed by the deceased, no proximate link could be attributed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the case of <i>Amalendu Pal<\/i> v. <i>State of West Bengal<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/kjl17uX3\">(2010) 1 SCC 707<\/a>, it was held that mere harassment without any positive action on the part of the accused proximate to the time of occurrence, which led to the suicide, would not amount to an offence under Section 306 of the IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court remarked that the contents of the suicide note brought out the fact that Shobha (co-accused) at the behest of the petitioner was making monetary demands or asking for a share in agricultural land from the deceased. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The demand in itself, at worst, may have been unreasonable or a demand which the father was unable to fulfill, but it would be stretching things a bit far to reach a finding that the accused as the daughter, through her mother intentionally acted in such a manner to drive the deceased to commit suicide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that on a perusal of the suicide note shows that it was dated 09-09-2021, while the actual act of suicide was committed on 14-09-2021, thus, there is no proximate link between the suicide note recording harassment allegedly at the behest of the petitioner and the extreme step taken by the deceased on 14-09-2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Lata v.
