The petitioner is the husband and he was married to the deceased 08 years before the said incidence. There is no averment to disclose that how did this petitioner abet his wife to commit suicide.

The incident took place on 20.03.2021, whereas case was lodged on 16.08.2021 i.e. about five months after the incident without any explanation for the delay.
