A.Dear Client,
The mere abnormality of mind, partial delusion, compulsion, or compulsive behaviour of a psychopath doesn't provide protection from prosecution as provided by the apex court held Section 84 of the Indian legal code (IPC).

Thank you

A.Dear Client
Anything can be a defense in a criminal case depending on the facts of the case the relation of that element to the facts of the case. Just asking whether OCD can be a defense won't be good enough to answer your question.
