The case of Keyur Nitinbhai Somaiya v. The State of Gujarat (2025) deals with the concept of abetment of suicide under section 306 IPC and the exercise of the inherent powers provided under section 482 CrPC. The Gujarat HC noted that harassment or demand of money doesn't come within the purview of section 107 IPC without instigation or demand being proximate. Quashing the FIR, the court relied upon existing case law and re-validated the same by laying high importance on criminal actions being compelling and not pre-planned. The judgment supports a narrow approach taken by the judiciary in construing abetment but again highlights the vulnerability of victims.
