Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

despite the fact that your wife had admitted committing suicide and did not blame anyone for the suicide in her suicide note, still as per law, she can trouble you by taking shelter under section 304-B of indian penal code. the law clearly says that in case a wife commits suicide within 7 years of marriage, the in laws can be booked u/s 304B. better negotiate and settle your matter as she has got much stronger case and am afraid, the courts may also refuse your bail even in case of 498a in case their lawyer stresses on her suicide.

the note can be of help to you but my advice will be settle the matter amicably.

The note will be a very strong defence in your favour to rebut the presumption against you. You have been rightly advised to negotiate an amicable settlement. However, you may have a good case to pursue.

the note certainly will be a very strong defence. Latches on her part in not filing the complaint at that time and filing it now after 4 ms will also go in your favour. where did she immediately go after her attempt? What had she been doing during this period will also be relevance?

Be as that it may, making a settlement, possibly through mediation & conciliation of the Mediation Centre of the district court of your district may work out better.

Suicide note would be in your favour. However, you also need to find out what transpired in the investigation of case registered against your wife for attempted suicide.

If you don't have financial means, you will required to fight the battle. Start preparing for the same right today in the right earnest with the help of competent professionals.

Rightly answered to settle.
