The bench comprising Justice Siddharth and Justice SC Sharma passed the order on Tuesday (December 17) in a petition filed by Sabra, mother of the three siblings, who approached high court seeking registration of an FIR against the school principal, in terms of the complaint made by her alleging that her children were wrongly expelled from school.

The petitioner had also demanded that state government should compensate the children for the loss of their academic progress on account of the acts of respondents, including the school principal.
