Centre to frame guidelines for rehabilitation of those cured of their mental illness

The Solicitor General, however, told the bench that they needed some time as two ministries — Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Justice — were involved in this process.

The apex court gave eight weeks time to the Centre for this.

“The proposal made to the Centre by this court has been tentatively accepted and the Union of India will frame guidelines/scheme for rehabilitation of mentally sick persons, who are in a mental asylum or a nursing home, and have been fully cured after treatment,” the bench said.
