The Allahabad High Court on Friday ordered that no coercive steps be taken against the chairman, director and principal of a Ghaziabad school who have been named in an FIR in connection with the death of a student on the campus.
A Division Bench passed the order on a petition filed by school principal Kavita Sharma and four others who have been named as accused in the FIR lodged on August 1 under IPC sections pertaining to causing death by negligence and causing disappearance of evidence.
The FIR was registered in connection with the death of Arman Sahagal, who “fell down on the corridor of the school and thereafter taken to a hospital where he was declared dead”. The petitioners, however, had contended that “there is no direct involvement of any of the school employees or the management of the school”.
