This case examines what truly amounts to "abetment of suicide" under Section 306 IPC. The Court emphasized that ordinary neighborhood quarrels and casual insults, even if persistent, do not automatically prove criminal instigation unless it is shown that the accused’s conduct left the victim with no option but to end their life. This landmark judgment clarifies the legal threshold for Section 306 and the necessity of proving intent and direct encouragement as per Section 107 IPC. #Section306IPC #CriminalLaw #SupremeCourt
