Judgment
Stalking and sabotaging marriage prospects prima facie constitute abetment to suicide: Karnataka High Court
The Karnataka High Court held that continuous stalking, threats to circulate photographs, and interfering with marriage prospects despite a prior suicide attempt by the victim establish a prima facie case of abetment to suicide, requiring the accused to face trial.
Explanation in simple terms
The Karnataka High Court ruled that a married man accused of stalking a nursing student and ruining her marriage plans can be tried for driving her to suicide. The court found enough initial evidence to move forward with the case against him. This means the legal proceedings will continue toward a trial rather than being dismissed.
