It has been reported that the man who killed his wife under influence of mental illness has been allowed to drive taxis in Victoria. Authorities have given him the permit after conducting thorough tests over his mental capabilities.

In 1990, a case of murder splashed on, claiming that a man has murdered his wife. For some time, trial over the case was conducted and later, it was found that the man, identified as XFJ, had mental disorder. At the time when he killed his wife, he was suffering from depression.

Knowing past records of the man, the Court of Appeal President Chris Maxwell and Justices Philip Mandie and David Harper announced a verdict today, saying that XFJ do not pose any risk to the lives of passengers.

It is rare when a mentally ill patient is given chance to make his or her life. It has been informed that XFJ applied for the permit in 2008. After more than two-year-long examination, the court finally decided to take grant him the permit.

But for XFJ, it was not easy to get the permit. Before applying to the Court of Appeal, XFJ applied at Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) where his appeal was rejected.
