The Madras High Court has refused to quash the chargesheet filed against Sister Sagaya Mary, hostel warden of St. Michael's Girls Hostel attached to the Sacred Heart Higher Secondary School, Thanjavur for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 12th Standard Student. The court also added that other points raised by the warden also could be considered at the time of trial and the case was not fit to be quashed.
