Bombay High Court Cancels Transfer Certificate Over School Expulsion for Unpaid Fees

The Bombay High Court annulled the transfer certificate of a 13-year-old student expelled by Father Agnel School over unpaid fees, ruling that expulsion before completing elementary education violates the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. The court noted the student's parents had protested the school's fee practices and curriculum choices. The ruling emphasized that children aged 6 to 14 have the right to complete basic schooling without such expulsions.
