During hearing by special bench of Child Rights Protection Commission here on Thursday, its Chairperson Usha Chaturvedi said that rustication of any student by any institution midway through academic session is not proper. She stated this while hearing case of issuing TC to three children of a farmer by Proof Public School, Itarsi.
Twenty more cases were put up for hearing. Orders for suitable action were given in 11 of them while hearing could not be taken up in nine due to absence of the applicant or any other reason.
Itarsi farmer Manoj Patel had complained to the commission that Proof Public School had rusticated his three children studying and class I by issuing transfer certificate (TC) wrongly. While hearing the case, the commission held that presence of principal is important during hearing. It dismissed the plea made by school secretary and held the rustication of these children from school was improper under the Right to Education Act. She said that these children should not be deprived of teaching and exam till the issue of imposing Rs 10 per day late fees on delay of deposit of fees is resolved properly.
