Regarding fir procedure in s.306 abetment of suicide

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 04 April 2018 This query is : Resolved 
Hi - need some exert opinion and legal remedy. The facts of the case are as below -

1. A person died and death certificate shows natural death.
2. No post mortem was done on the body.
3. The relatives now say there is a suicide note which claims since deceased has not received money from a particular company, he has been left to die. (does not mention any direct action towards suicide)
4. 3 months have passed since the date of passing.
5. The relatives are now trying to extort money from the company on basis of this note, and are threatening criminal action.

Questions -

1. Can FIR under S.306 be filed on the basis of the note alone, which mentions a company and not any person. Are all the promoters liable ?
2. Can FIR be registered under S.306 when there is no post mortem, and more than 3 months after the date of death.
2. Can the note be treated as a suicide note (or dying declaration) while the cause of death shown in the death certificate is natural.
3. If it was indeed a suicide, the relatives would have known and what actions can be taken against them for not disclosing this information earlier.

Please suggest thoughts.

No the Police will not register the complaint now u/s 306 IPC after all the facts and circumstances mentioned here. The earliest reporting of suicide and followed by post-mortem would be trouble for the company but after 3 months, without the forensic report of the unnatural death there is hardly any chance of criminal complaint case being filled against the company u/s 306 IPC and being prosecuted for it.
