 | Social Jurist petition in Delhi High Court today led to rescue of a lady aged about 43-44 years who is mentally ill and has been seen wandering in a pathetic condition for the last 3 years on the streets of Shakti Nagar area of North Delhi. The petition filed through Advocate Ashok Agarwal states that a per infomation received, the said lady is well educated belongs to a Sikh family and was residing 3 years back in an Ashram of Shakti Nagar with her father. After the demise of her father, she has been found and observed to be in a mentally ill condition who has not only lost her state of mind but has been living on streets and found begging and rag picking. It is unfortunate that till date no one has come for her rescue and the local residents of Shakti Nagar have no details in respect of her family and relatives. Though the police officials of the area have frequently seen her loitering here and there but no action as required under the Mental Health Act, 1987 for the benefit of such lady has been taken.
When Social Jurist petition came up for hearing today before Justice S. Murlidharan, Mr. Najmi Waziri, Standing Counsel for Delhi Government appeared and submitted to the Court that mechaniary has been set in motion for rescue of the mentally ill lady and after rescue, she would be taken to IHBAS (Institute of Hman Behaviour and Allied Sciences). The Hon'ble Judge commented, "what a bad state of affairs". However, the Hon'ble Judge disposed of the petition expressing hope that the lady would be provided appropriate medical treatment. |
