New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday decided that a teacher rebuked students for the inexuscepting or bunking class would not reach suicide control if an emotional and sentimental student took extreme steps after being warned because it was a serious task of an instil teacher discipline in students.
Judge S Judge Abdul Nazeer and Krishna Murari canceled the criminal process against a private school teacher ordered for a reduction after class IX students died of suicide after being reprimanded for classes.
FIR was filed against the teacher because he had reprimanded students who also named him in a suicide note.
The bench, after checking the note, said the reading showed hypersensitive temperament from the deceased which made it take a step like that and which would not encourage the same students to commit suicide.
“This is a serious task of a teacher to instill discipline of science in students.
Not infrequently Teachers rebuke a student because they do not pay attention or not to be a sign in the study or for the classes of sleep or not attend school.
Disciplinary steps adopted by a teacher or Other authorities from the school, rebuke a student for his inquiry, in our opinion, will not be the same as provoking a student to commit suicide, unless there are specific accusations that are deliberately repeatedly without anything.
Causes or reasons that can be justified, “said Justice Murari.
The court said a simple action to rebuke a student on his behavior or the non-discipline by a teacher, who was under the moral obligation to instill the good quality of humans in a student certainly did not amount to sacrifice or deliberately helped.
Suicide by a student.
It is said that there must be allegations of direct or indirect act of incitement towards commissions of suicide violations and only allegations of harassment that died by others will not be sufficient in themselves, except, there is an accusation of such actions in the part of the defendant who forced the committee of suicide.
“Furthermore, if people commit hypersensitive and allegations that are associated with the defendant if they are not usually expected to encourage the same person located to take extreme steps to commit suicide, will be unsafe to accuse guilty of suicidal reduction,” Further benches said.
