Court not an institution to sermonise society on morality, ethics: SC

Court is not an institution to sermonise society on morality and ethics and rather, it is bound by the rule of law while taking decisions, the Supreme Court has said.

The top court made this observation while ordering premature release of a woman convicted for murder of two children.

The woman had an affair with a man who used to often threaten her. So she decided to commit suicide along with her children.

She bought pesticides meant for plants and administered poison to her two children. Thereafter, when she poured the pesticide in a tumbler to consume it herself, her niece pushed it down.
