Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has ruled in favour of three students who were expelled from their school for bringing non-vegetarian food in their tiffin.
The high court directed the district magistrate to get the students enrolled in any other school affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The order was passed by the court while hearing a writ petition filed by a mother of one of the expelled students, and three more from Amroha.
The HC has asked the district magistrate to carry out the re-admission process of these students within a period of two weeks, and subsequently file an affidavit of compliance before the court.
According to sources, the Principal of the School in Amroha had expelled three minor students from the school for bringing non-veg food in tiffin. Following this, their mother approached the high court and filed a petition demanding that an FIR be registered against the school principal.
The petitioner’s counsel argued that the Right to Education of the children has been affected due to expulsion from the school. While hearing the petition, the HC bench comprising Justices Siddharth and SC Sharma directed the Amroha district magistrate to admit the children in another CBSE-affiliated school within two weeks and file an affidavit of compliance before the court.
The court has listed the matter for further hearing on January 6, 2025. "In case no affidavit is filed by the District Magistrate, he will have to appear in person on the next date,” the bench noted.
