Supreme Court update; Hostel Warden Student Suicide IPC Case | The Supreme Court said- Dancing is not provoked for suicide: No one can think that such an incident can happen by scolding; Accused hostel wardon acquitted

The Supreme Court said that scolding no one can be considered an excitement for suicide. Along with this, the court rejected the order of the Madras High Court. The High Court held a hostel wardon guilty of provoking suicide under the IPC’s Cast 306.

A bench of Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra said, “No one can think that scolding can lead to such an incident.” Wardon scolded another student on the complaint of a student.

After being scolded, the student committed suicide by hanging himself in his room. Wardon argued that he had scolded the student as a parent, so that he would not make the same mistake. Wardon also made it clear that there was no personal relationship between him and the suicide students.
