'One more unfortunate case of suicide': Supreme Court on IIT-Delhi student's death
A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan referred to the IIT Delhi suicide and hoped the court’s directions were followed
The Supreme Court ruled on the tragic death of an Indian Institute of Technology Delhi student, citing it as a regrettable incident. The National Task Force (NTF), set up by the court, completed its status update on August 22, revealing that the final report would be released by October 31. The bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan expressed hope that the court's directives to improve higher educational institutions' mental well-being for students were followed.
In January, the court issued multiple guidelines to ensure educational institutions were responsible for students' mental health after the NTF submitted an interim report. The NTF advised all institutions to report any suicide or unnatural death to law enforcement authorities and provide round-the-clock medical support in residential campuses to prevent such cases.
