HR Manager cannot be prosecuted for abetment to suicide over denying leave or marking employee absent: Madras High Court
India's Madras High Court ruled that an HR manager cannot be charged with abetment to suicide for refusing an employee’s leave request or marking them absent. Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan cited a Supreme Court principle stating that criminal intent cannot be inferred solely from the victim’s mental state. The judgment clarifies liability limits for workplace actions.
