BILASPUR, August 4, 2024 (TBINN)
It is cruel to subject a child to physical violence in school in the name of discipline or education, the Chhattisgarh High Court has observed while dismissing a petition of a woman teacher accused of abetting the suicide of a student.
Subjecting the child to corporal punishment for reforming him cannot be part of education, a division bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal said in its order.
“Imposition of corporal punishment on the child is not in consonance with his right to life guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution of India,” it said.
