Sumitra Bai vs The State Of Chhattisgarh

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Sumitra Bai, overturning the lower courts' judgments that convicted her under the IPC for the death of her father. The court found that the evidence presented indicated that she was mentally ill and lacked the intention to cause death. The ruling emphasized the importance of considering mental health in criminal liability, leading to the acquittal of the appellant.
