Bombay HC: Non disclosure of ill treatment to wife by her family members to independent witness prior to her death whether fatal U/S 306 of IPC?

It may be seen that there is no independent witness, to whom any of the family members of the victim had ever reported before her death that, the victim was subjected to ill-treatment. All the allegations about ill-treatment came after the unfortunate incident. Though the witnesses are parents and siblings of the victim, they speak in different voices. There is no unanimity amongst them as to what was the cause of the victim's ill-treatment and how it was meted out. It, therefore, seems that the entire story about ill-treatment is afterthought. The victim did not have any issue. {Para 13}
