    The Madhya Pradesh High Court heard a plea from Nisha Saket

    Nisha watched “Crime Patrol” despite her husband’s disapproval

    High Court stated that the allegations are trivial

The Madhya Pradesh High Court heard a plea from an applicant named Nisha Saket who was charged by a Sessions Court of abetment to suicide. It was alleged that Nisha did not have a cordial relationship with her in-laws. She was also reported to have not prepared food on time leading to a disruption in her husband’s schedule. She was said to have left her kid at her neighbour’s house to indulge in shopping along with her friends. She supposedly routinely watched shows like “Crime Patrol” despite her husband’s disapproval. She also apparently would visit her mother’s place in short intervals without intimating her husband.

The High Court however ruled in Nisha’s favour stating that the allegations are trivial and even if it were found to be true does not fall under the ambit of Section 306. “In cases of abetment of suicide, there must be proof of direct or indirect acts or incitement of commission of suicide. Acts involve multifaceted and complex attributes of human behaviour and reactions or in the cases of abetment, Court must look for cogent and convincing proof of acts of incitement of commission of suicide,” Justice Gurpal Singh Ahluwalia hearing the case stated.
