Summary:
MUMBAI: Setting aside a lower court order that ascertained the mental health of a psychiatric patient based on a few questions, a sessions court has allowed a 35-year-old man’s plea to admit his wife to Thane Mental Hospital after it was found that she suffered from schizophrenia . But this was not sufficient when there are two certificates of medical officers of the mental hospital. He said that both the doctors advised him to admit his wife at the facility and also issued medical certificates to the effect that his wife was suffering from mental disorders. The husband said he had tried his best to provide the best treatment to his wife for the past six years. The husband said that hence, it had become necessary to get an order from the magistrate.The husband further contended that the woman displayed extremely aggressive behaviour and would get out of the house at night and assault random people..
