The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has asked the school authorities to pardon a boy who allegedly threw ink at his teacher during an examination.

The mother of a Class XI student from Sivaganga moved the court after he was issued a transfer certificate.

The woman said her son’s ink pen had stopped writing and when he tapped the pen, ink splashed on to the trousers of the invigilator, who complained to the school authorities, terming it a deliberate act.

Following this, the Headmaster issued a transfer certificate.

Justice V. Bhavani Subbaroyan, considering the welfare of the boy, asked the school authorities to pardon him. The court took an undertaking from his parents that they would ensure his good conduct and asked the school authorities to permit him to continue so that there would be no break in his studies.
