The Supreme Court of India has recently made a significant decision regarding a murder case, overturning the conviction of a woman from Chhattisgarh who was accused of killing her daughters. The court cited a possible temporary mental disorder as the reason behind the woman’s actions. The woman, who worked as an Anganwadi worker, claimed that ‘invisible powers’ had influenced her to commit the crime. Due to the lack of a clear motive and the woman’s history of exhibiting unusual behavior, the court decided to convert the conviction from murder to culpable homicide. As a result of this decision, the woman is set to be released after serving 10 years in prison. This case highlights the complexities surrounding mental health issues and their impact on criminal behavior. The Supreme Court’s ruling emphasizes the importance of considering all aspects of a case before reaching a verdict, especially when mental health concerns are involved. This decision sets a precedent for future cases involving similar circumstances, ensuring that justice is served while taking into account the complexities of the human mind.
