                            of Harpur Police Station Case No. 132 of 2025, dated

                            03.11.2025,       disclosing     offences       punishable       under

                            Sections 115(2)/108/352/351(2) of the Bhartiya Nyaya

                            Sanhita, 2023.

                       3.   The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report,

                            is that the daughter of the informant was having chat with

                            the petitioner on mobile. The informant arranged his

                            daughter’s marriage at some other place. On 02.01.2025,

                            the daughter of the informant was found talking with the

                            petitioner and when the informant told her not to talk with

                            him, in the evening the petitioner came to the house of the

                   informant, started abusing and assaulting him and also

                   threatened to lift his daughter. When the informant went

                   to neighbouring villagers, the daughter of the informant

                   locked herself inside the room and committed suicide by

                   hanging.

              4.   Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner was having love relationship with the deceased

                   and they used to talk on the mobile phones, which was

                   objected by the informant. There is no allegation that the

                   petitioner abetted in suicide committed by the daughter of

                   the informant and take active participation in it.

              5.   Learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that when

                   petitioner, the petitioner came at the house of the

                   informant, abused and assaulted him, due to which the

                   daughter of the informant committed suicide.

              6.   Regards being had to the submissions advanced on behalf

                   of the parties and taking into consideration the nature of

                   allegation made in the First Information Report and the

                   fact that the petitioner and the deceased were having love

                   relationship, which was objected by the informant, I am

                   inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory
