sir one of friend has committed suicide due to financial problem and before his death he has fight in his house.so in general terms his family members said him that u are good for nothing and it's better you die as you are of no use.so he had alcohol and committed suicide but before committing suicide he wrote a suicide note .In suicide note he wrote some of his friends name and said we should not get friends like these people in our life and love u mom n dad ..and committed suicide.
so my question is are his friends are liable for the suicide?and many of friends didn't meet him since lockdown.and they were not able to help him in financial loss.
Dear sir,
There have been many instances wherein the rage of frustration people tend to take such a severe step and they might even leave a suicide note behind including certain names. But that cannot be a reason to convict somebody. One cannot immediately jump to a conclusion that it is enough to mulct the accused with criminal liability.
There have been a lot of cases such as A.R. Madhav Rao And Ors vs State of Haryana And Anr. where the court has observed that merely because a person has been so named in the suicide note one cannot immediately jump to the conclusion that he is an offender under Section 306 I.P.C.
Apart from this, there are certain cases where the person before committing suicide wrote a suicide note through his blood. But the court can never jump to a conclusion as it may or may not find such evidence enough. Also, it is difficult to judge somebody’s tolerance or sensitivity level, so one has to deeply analyse the mind frame and other relevant things before coming on to a conclusion.
