The accused persons had abetted the deceased Dr. Usha and her husband upto such an extent that they had to call a conference and got published that Dr. Ashok and Sanjeev were using defamatory comments against them and their institution without any basis.

Hamari Shaher mai aak ijjet thi so in dono bhaiyon nai mil kar mitti mai mila dali and mai in sab karno sai parashan ho kar autam khatya ko majboor hui. Yay autam hatya nai ho kar hatya hai, Mara marne ka Dr. Sanjeev Arya vai Dr. Ashok Kumar Jimmadar hai. Mari taraf sai in ko kari saja dilai jaya. Mara marene ke baad mere beti Simmi ka vishash khyal rakha jai. Is sari ghatna mai mare pati Pardeep Kumar vai us ka pura parivar athwa mara mailai ka pura pariwar is ghatna mai ko smbandh nai rakhta hai. Usha Rani 6.1.2005 7. That from the suicide note it is clear that accused abetted/instigated Usha Rani to end her life. Even in her suicide note she has clearly mentioned that Dr. Ashok and Dr. Sanjiv will be responsible for her death and there is no fault on the part of her husband and his parents and even no fault on the part of her parents. From the suicide note it is a clear case u/s 306/34 IPC is made out against the Dr. Sanjeev and Ashok. Even in her suicide note she has clearly written that Dr. Sanjeev and Dr.Ashok should be punished for her death. But police after hobnobbing with Dr.sanjiv and Dr. Ashok and brother of the deceased registered a case u/s 304B/498 A IPC against the complainant, his wife and his son i.e. FIR No.11 dated 6.1.2005 PS Civil Lines, Sonepat. The police has registered a false case against the complainant instead of registering a case u/s 306/.34 IPC against the accused. 8. That however, the police sent the said suicide note in FSL Madhuban for comparison of hand writing of Dr. Usha, deceased. The report has been received which confirms that said suicide note is true and written by Dr.Usha. After comparing the other handwriting of Usha with the suicide note. A copy of suicide note is enclosed herewith. 9. That the complainant approached the police of P.S.Civil Line and also moved an application to the SP Sonepat for registration of case u/s 306/34 IPC against the accused persons but of no use. Hence this complaint. 10. That the deceased Dr.Usha being wife of Dr.
A copy of suicide note is enclosed herewith. 9. That the complainant approached the police of P.S.Civil Line and also moved an application to the SP Sonepat for registration of case u/s 306/34 IPC against the accused persons but of no use. Hence this complaint. 10. That the deceased Dr.Usha being wife of Dr. Pardeep were jointly running the said Paramedcial institution and any defamatory comment, act on part of the accused was obviously seriously taken by the deceased which resulted into abetment to the deceased to commit suicide and hence the accused persons have jointly committed offence punishable u/s 306/34 IPC and they are liable to be punished in accordance with law. That even the police was so hurry to submit the challan in the Court without obtaining the FSL report. From this it appears that police was hobnobbing with the accused and the brother of the deceased. 11. That the deceased Dr. Usha was residing at Adarsh Nagar Sonepat where she was running her institution and was abettted by the accused which falls in the area of P.S. Civil lines, Sonepat, within the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court, hence this Hon’ble Court has got jurisdiction to try and entered the present complaint. 12. That the complainant has never filed any such or similar complaint either before this Hon’ble Court or any other Court. It is,therefore, prayed that the accused persons may kindly be summoned, tried and punished u/s 306/34 IPC in the interest of justice. Any other relief which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper be also passed in favour of the complainant” 6. Smt. Usha has died an unnatural death. A suicide note was recovered from her dead body by the Police. As per the FSL report, the said note was in the handwriting of the deceased-Usha. In the said suicide note, the deceased has averred that she was committing suicide and that the petitioners were responsible for her death. Although a case under Section 304-B/498-A IPC is pending against the complainant and others yet it would not be in the interest of justice to quash the present complaint. The complainant has based reliance on the suicide note alleged to have been written by the deceased. The fact that whether the petitioners are responsible for the death of the deceased Usha or not would more appropriately be gone into and considered during trial.
The complainant has based reliance on the suicide note alleged to have been written by the deceased. The fact that whether the petitioners are responsible for the death of the deceased Usha or not would more appropriately be gone into and considered during trial. At this stage, it would not be appropriate to scuttle the criminal proceedings. Prima facie material was available on record to frame a charge against the petitioners. Merely because the revision petition filed by the complainant and others challenging the order whereby charge was framed against them under Sections 304-B/498-A IPC is no ground to quash the present complaint. It would be established during trial as to which of the version i.e the one in the FIR or the one in the present complaint is correct. Hence, no ground warranting interference under Section 482/401 Cr.P.C. is made out. Accordingly, both the petitions are dismissed. ------------
