Delhi High Court Grants Bail in Abetment of Suicide Case Involving Former Partners

The Delhi High Court granted bail to a university professor accused of abetting the suicide of his former partner, a 27-year-old school teacher. The court noted no suicide note or dying declaration indicated provocation or coercion, and that a broken relationship alone does not constitute instigation under criminal law. The parties had an eight-year relationship ending months before her suicide, which occurred five days after the accused's marriage to another woman. The court emphasized that only a trial can determine the cause of her death.
