respective adjoining fields. Their fields were divided by a straight line of mud and the heavy rains
had leveled the slight exalted line, making it difficult to recognize the partition between the two
fields. Mahesh, while trying to erect the mud line again, was stopped by Raju alleging that
Mahesh was trying to redraw the boundaries of their fields encroaching upon Raju’s field.

When Raju again objected to this, Mahesh pushed Raju who fell on the plough lying nearby. The
plough head pierced through Raju’s spinal cord and he started bleeding profusely. Mahesh
panicked and ran away. Unfortunately, as soon as Mahesh ran away, lightening struck on
unconscious Raju. Postmortem examination report noted one 2”x 1” ante-mortem injury on
Raju’s back but also noted that the cause of death was burning by high voltage lightning strike.

2. Muskan is a twelve year old village girl. Her mother had died when she was barely five and she
would live with her father, a daily wage labour who would leave early and come late in the
evening. As Muskan grew up, his father became more concerned about her safety as he would be
absent from home for long spells. Finally, he decided to send Muskan to live with her elder
brother Sohan and his wife Savita in the city. Savita initially treated Muskan well but gradually
her behaviour changed and she started ill-treating Muskan. In absence of Sohan, Muskan was
even beaten up by Savita upon flimsy grounds. Unable to bear any more humiliation, Muskan left
her brother’s home and boarded a train. In the train she met Shobha, a middle aged woman, who
sensed that she is a runaway girl. Shobha comforted her and told her that if she wished she could
stay with her, promising her a better life and education. Muskan agreed and Shobha brought her
home. However, Shobha had other plans. Muskan was not admitted in school, nor was she given
enough food to eat and Shobha forced her to do all the household chores. Shobha’s neighbor Mini
alerted the police. Upon questioning, Shobha claimed that Muskan had voluntarily come with her
and willingly residing in her house. However, the police registered an FIR against Shobha for
kidnapping Muskan.

a medical course and moved to another city for studies. In the medical college, he got friendly
with another girl Sylvia and both of them started dating. During summer break, when John came
home, he met Nancy who felt that John has lost interest in her. She enquired from John, made him
remember the promises he had made to her but John kept assuring her that everything was alright.
He also told Nancy that he would keep his word and they would marry after he finished his
studies. John and Nancy also got intimate thereafter and had sexual intercourse. After John went
back to his college, he started avoiding Nancy and would not reply to her text messages and
would also not pick up her calls. A desperate Nancy decided to confront John and went to his
college. She was told by John’s friends that John and Sylvia are seeing each other and that they

including Sudha (Sundar’s mother), Ramendra (Sundar’s father), Priyam (Sundar’s younger
brother) and Shivi (Sundar’s foster sister). Malti’s father Ranjan had gifted her a piece of land in
a posh locality of the city and wanted Sundar to construct an independent house for her daughter.
Malti, the only child of her parents, wanted to live separately from Sundar’s family. After few
months of marriage, Malti started pestering Sundar to start construction on the land but Sundar
disapproved of the idea and told Malti that he would continue living with his parents, and would
also continue to financially support them as both Priyam and Shivi were still studying. There were
almost daily quarrels between Malti and Sudha on petty issues with both cursing each other for
ruining a lovely family. Malti would also taunt Shivi for not helping her in household chores.
Shivi would often not react to the barbs but at times she would accuse Malti for the tension in the
family. The software company where Sundar was working was in a bad shape having a tough
time in getting business. When the financial conditions of the company did not improve, Sundar
started contemplating his own start-up. On December 13, 2012, at around 6 pm, Sundar discussed
his plans with Malti and proposed selling off the land gifted by her father, for arranging the
capital for the start-up. Malti vehemently opposed the idea and refused to sell the land. An
infuriated Sundar hit Malti who also hit back. Sudha and Shivi intervened and separated the two.
Sudha and Shivi also scolded Malti for not agreeing to her husband’s proposal. Malti called her
father and narrated the whole incident. Malti’s father promised that he would come to visit them
the next day early morning and advised her to keep calm. At around 10:30 pm, the same day,
while the entire family was asleep, Malti committed suicide by hanging. Next day, in the early
morning, when Ranjan reached there, the family got to know about Malti’s suicide.
Ranjan accused Sundar and his entire family of killing Malti for dowry and got an FIR lodged
against them. Discuss the liability of Sundar, Sudha, Ramendra, Priyam and Shivi.
Substantiate your reasoning with statutory and case law.
