Enraged by the query made by the 2nd accused, the petitioner scolded the deceased saying “go away and die”.
It appears that, in the ensuing wordy altercation the petitioner scolded the deceased and said “go away and die”.
It is not enough if the acts of the accused cause persuasion in the mind of the deceased to commit suicide.
Since the allegations do not constitute the offence under S.306 IPC, the offence under S.204 IPC also will not be attracted.
We thus see that the petitioner has very rightly been discharged from the offences with which he was charged by the Kerala High Court.
