Overview
- Immediately after the bench rejected her return to the Andaman Islands based on a confidential mediation report, the teen attempted to flee and fell from the first-floor corridor, sustaining injuries.
- She was rushed in the High Court ambulance to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, where she remains under care.
- The Division Bench directed her admission to the Government Children’s Home for Girls in Chennai and ordered a psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Venkat with an interim sealed report due later this month.
- The court allowed counselling for her estranged father and limited visitation rights for her mother and grandmother during prescribed hours.
- The father must accompany her to all mental health assessments and bear medical expenses, and an inquiry has been launched to determine whether the fall was accidental or intentional.
