Karnataka HC Upholds FIR Against School Over Student Injury in School Bus
The Karnataka High Court refused to quash a criminal case against Divyajyothi School in Mandya after a Class IV student lost vision in one eye due to fellow students spraying coloured sparklers inside a school bus. The court emphasized the school's legal duty to ensure student safety during transit, questioning supervision, CCTV functionality, and safety protocols. It held that the school's responsibility extends beyond the school gate until children are safely dropped home, with culpability to be determined after investigation.
