24 In the case on hand, a thorough scanning of the evidence of P.Ws.1 to 6, 11 and 12, who are respectively the family members, relatives and the villagers of Thalayaripalayam, would amply establish the factum of the appellant/accused treated the deceased cruelly in respect of pledging of jewels by P.W.1 and has also assaulted her, at frequent intervals, though not soon before her death and the quarrels ensued between the spouses on account of the matrimonial discard and the panchayat convened at regular intervals in the said Village. Even as per the evidence of P.W.3, the mother of the victim/deceased, in her cross examination, she had stated that when her husband [P.W.2]/ father of the deceased, went to the matrimonial home of his daughter, he witnessed the appellant/accused kicking on the stomach of the victim and that she was taken to the hospital as she suffered pain on account of such kicking. Thus, it is evidently clear that it was the appellant/accused who had harassed the victim due to matrimonial dispute since the marriage between the appellant/accused and the victim and such conduct of the appellant/accused had driven the victim to take an extreme end of doing away herself by committing suicide and it is crystal clear that it was the appellant/accused who had abetted or aided or instigated the victim/deceased to commit suicide. This Court, on an independent application of mind to the entire evidence on record, especially the evidence of the parents, brother of the deceased as well as the villagers, presumes that it was the appellant/accused who had abetted the victim to commit suicide.
