One-liner: The mental health of a person can't be compressed into a ''one size fits all' approach, the Supreme Court has said while setting aside an order of the Karnataka HC which quashed criminal proceedings against a govt official in a case of abetment of suicide.
Erroneous: A bench said the observation of the high court that there is no material to corroborate the allegations made in the suicide note is erroneous.
What the apex court says: The top court said a judge of the HC has termed a person who decided to commit suicide a 'weakling' and has also made observations on the behaviour of the deceased as that of a person who is depressed and suffering from mental health issues.
Need to know: The matter relates to the death of a driver to a Special Land Acquisition Officer, and against whom grave charges of amassing wealth disproportionate to the known sources of income were made by the deceased.
