“We have asked the school to send us a copy of the departmental inquiry conducted by the school, the staff service rules and regulations, and copy of the order of managing committ0ee in the matter,” said Gerry Arathoon, the Chief Officiating Officer of the council told The Indian Express. Arathoon said that depending on the inquiry that is being conducted by the council it would take action against the school. The school, set up in 1836, is affiliated to CISCE.

As the school is affiliated to the council and run by the Diocese of Churches of North India, the state government has no authority to take action against the school, but the council can de-recognise the school.

On April 23, the council board received a letter from the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, asking it to look into the facts and take action in this case. Thereafter the board had asked the school to furnish details in this case. According to the council officials, the school sent a brief report about the incident. In its report, the school stated that it has found the charges against the teachers baseless, and it has let off the principal with a warning for caning the child. “We want a detailed report on what the findings were and what action was taken by the managing committee,” said a council member. A letter asking for a detailed report of the departmental inquiry and other rules of the council has been sent to the school on May 30 but the school has not responded so far.
