Punjab and Haryana High Court Orders Enforcement of Anti-Bullying Measures in Schools
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed all schools in Haryana to enforce existing Supreme Court and CBSE guidelines to prevent bullying and harassment based on gender identity and sexual orientation. This follows a petition by the mother of a 16-year-old student who died by suicide after alleged bullying and assault at a Faridabad school. The court emphasized that guidelines must be actively implemented, with prompt, confidential complaint handling and police reporting for serious offenses, to better protect vulnerable students.
