ORDER

1. Heard on admission.

Heard finally at motion stage.

On 15th January, 2006 one teacher Satish Chandra Saxena committed suicide by hanging. This merg was reported to the police on which enquiry was conducted and the police came to the conclusion that the petitioner had advanced loan to the deceased at the rate of 10% interest and the deceased was annoyed by the demands of loan made by the petitioner, hence he committed suicide. FIR was registered at crime No. 116/06 and as informed by Shri Dixit the investigation has been completed. This action of the police has been impugned by the petitioner vide this petition.

2. During the course of arguments Shri Dwivedi, the learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of the Court on the following judgments:

1. Sanju @ Sanjay Singh v. State of M.P. [2002 (2) JLJ 275 = 2002 CAR 255 (SC)].

2. Mahendra Singh v. State of M.P. [1995 Supp. (3) SCC 731].

3. Ajay Patodia v. State of M.P. [2003 (II) MPWN 153 = 2003 (3) Crimes 543].

4. Laxmi Prasad Vishwakarma v. State of M.P. [2003 (1) MPWN 34].

5. Mamta Sahu v. State (NCT of Delhi) [2006 (1) Crimes 11].

and has submitted that if the allegation of advancing loan on 10% interest coupled with the fact of demand made by the petitioner from the deceased, is taken into consideration merely on this ground no offence as provided under section 306 of IPC is made out.

3. Countering the contentions Shri Dixit has read over the statements of witness Smt. Kiran Saxena, the widow of the deceased as well as witness Jagdish the colleague of the deceased and has submitted that it has been alleged against the petitioner that due to the demand of loan the deceased committed suicide.

4. The FIR and the aforesaid statements of the witness recorded during investigation have been perused, which are available in the case diary. In report there is no allegation against the petitioner.
