IndiaThe Rajasthan High Court dismissed criminal charges against three teachers accused of abetting the suicide of a Class 12 student who died in 2005. The court ruled that disciplinary actions such as reprimanding students for irregular attendance or poor performance do not constitute abetment of suicide under the law. The student's family had claimed the teachers harassed and insulted her, leading to her suicide. However, the court found that the investigation revealed the student was irregular in attending classes and had been advised by teachers to improve her attendance and academics. The court emphasized that abetment requires more than mere disciplinary action, noting that teachers have a legitimate role in maintaining discipline.
