The Bombay High Court granted pre-arrest bail to a woman and her alleged lover, accused of abetting her estranged husband’s suicide. The court found no evidence of direct instigation or compelling behavior from the couple, emphasizing that the law requires clear acts of inducement for abetment claims.
