been grabbed in lieu of alleged loan of Rs.35,000/-. Further more, even a plot of 100 sq. yards owned by deceased-Subhash had been agreed to be sold to defendant No.1 towards realisation of such alleged outstanding loan. It was pleaded that on 28.12.2004, deceased-Subhash alongwith his cousin Randhir had gone towards the fields in the morning and were returning towards the house at about 7 A.M., the defendants met them and had threatened Subhash for not having returned the loan. It was pleaded that Subhash had consumed certain poisonous substance in his fields whereupon, he was taken to Civil Hospital, Panipat and had been declared dead. Deceased-Subhash was stated to be in good health and being of 32 years of age. His earning was stated to be more than Rs.8,000/- per month and he was the only bread earner of the family. Damages to the extent of Rs.8,00,000/- had been claimed by the plaintiffs from the defendants but on the refusal to do so, a suit for recovery towards damages had been filed. A written statement was filed by the defendants denying that deceasedSubhash was never instigated or aided to commit suicide on 28.12.2004. It was stated that certain amount stood against the deceased and a mere demand to return the money would not justify the claim of recovery as damages. It was also stated that on the date on which deceased-Subhash had committed suicide i.e. 28.12.2004, no demand had been raised by the defendants.
