Mere Official Reprimand By Superior Not Abetment Of Suicide Without Intent To Drive Subordinate To Death : Supreme Court The Supreme Court has held that ordinary administrative directions, disciplinary supervision, adverse remarks on official performance or even stern behaviour by a superior officer cannot, by themselves, be treated as abetment of suicide under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), unless there is additional material showing a conscious intention to drive the subordinate to take her own life. There was no “proximate act of instigation” immediately preceding the suicide that could be considered to have driven the deceased to commit suicide. Precedent 1. Ude Singh v State of Haryana and reiterated that instigation means “to goad, urge forward, provoke, incite or encourage” a person to do an act, and that “a word uttered in the fit of anger or emotion without intending the consequences to actually follow cannot be said to be instigation.” 2. Prakash v State of Maharashtra, holding that the accused must be shown to have contributed to the suicide through “some direct ot indirect act,” with instigation that is “in close proximity to the commission of suicide” and “reveals a clear mens rea to abet.” 3. Madan Mohan Singh v State of Gujarat, where a driver's suicide note blaming his employer was held insufficient absent proof that the accused “intended or knew” the deceased would take his life as a result of his actions. 4. Abhinav Mohan Delkar v State of Maharashtra, which held that “to bring in the ingredients of Section 306 read with Section 107, still there has to be a proximate prior act to clearly find that the suicide was the direct consequence of such continuous harassment, the last proximate incident having finally driven the subject to the extreme act of taking ones life.” Case Title: Vinod Shivakumar v State of Maharashtra (SLP Crl. 17179/2025) Citation : 2026 LiveLaw (SC) 814 #bns #section45

Does Tenancy End On Execution Of Agreement To Sell Between Landord-Tenant? Supreme Court Answers The Supreme Court of India held that a subsisting tenancy does not automatically end upon the execution of an agreement to sell between a landlord and tenant. A bench comprising Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice NV Anjaria ruled that tenancy determination requires either specific terms in the agreement or unequivocal conduct indicating surrender under Section 111(e) or (f) of the Transfer of Property Act. 📝Principles for determination of tenancy post-execution of an agreement to sell between the landlord and tenant. "(i) the mere execution of an agreement to sell between a landlord and tenant does not ipso facto bring about a determination of the subsisting tenancy; (ii) it is only when the terms of the agreement or the unequivocal conduct of the parties, inconsistent with the continuance of the existing tenancy, disclose either an express or implied surrender within the meaning of Section 111(e) or (f) of the TP Act, that the lease can be said to have been determined; (iii) the continuous possession of a tenant even after the execution of an agreement to sell does not amount to part performance under Section 53A of the TP Act unless such possession is shown to be directly relatable to and flowing from the agreement to sell; and (iv) any agreement to sell, not being a registered deed of conveyance, does not by itself confer any title or interest in the property." Precedent D.S. Parvathamma v. A. Srinivasan, (2003) 4 SCC 705 explained that “when a person already in possession of the property in some other capacity enters into a contract to purchase the property, to confer the benefit of protecting possession under the plea of part performance, his act effective from that day must be consistent with the contract alleged and cannot be referred to the preceding title, and that having entered into possession as a tenant and having continued to remain in possession in that capacity, a tenant cannot be heard to say that by reason of the agreement to sell his possession was no longer that of a tenant.” Cause Title: NAZIM SHAIKH HASAN VERSUS NASIR MUSHTAQ SHAIKH AND OTHERS Citation : 2026 LiveLaw (SC) 803 #tpa
