Bombay High Court has acquitted four members of a family, convicted in 2010 in connection to a woman's death by suicide within two months of her marriage into the family. The court held that a conviction on "moral" grounds was not the substitute for lack of evidence.
Megha, the deceased had a post-graduate degree in Mathematics from Aurangabad. Her family members feel that she killed herself as she couldn’t bear the pain inflicted upon her by her in-laws
A bench of Justice Sadhana S Jadhav and Justice Nitin R Borkar of Bombay HC was hearing an appeal from the deceased's husband, his parents, and his brother who were given a life sentence by a Solapur court after being accused of murder.
