💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India has quashed a chargesheet against a woman accused of abetting suicide under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. The woman was allegedly in love with the son of the accused, who had refused to marry her. The court stated that expressing disapproval for marriage does not constitute abetment of suicide, and the acts of the accused were too remote to constitute the offence.
