Nine Year Old Boy’s Mysterious Death In School: SC Asks Allahabad HC To Decide Pleas Before Oct. 15

The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Allahabad High Court to decide the plea for CBI inquiry moved by parents of the 9-yr-old boy, who died after allegedly slipping in his school corridor in Ghaziabad, on October 4 or before October 15 while also deciding the quashing petition moved by the school.The apex court bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra was hearing the plea of Gulshan and Swati Sehgal, the parents of the deceased Armaan, seeking a CBI probe into his mysterious death minutes after slipping in the corridor of his school GD Goenka in Ghaziabad's Indirapuram on August 1.The court asked the parents to put their prayer before the Allahabad High Court, while asking it to decide the same along with the petition moved by the school seeking quashing of FIR registered under sections 304 and 201 IPC.Sehgal's counsel Gurmeet Singh said the Supreme Court has given them the liberty to raise all points and issues before the Allahabad High Court.He also said the high court had erred in granting interim relief against arrest to the school authorities.Armaan Sehgal was a Class IV student of GD Goenka at Ghaziabad's Indirapuram. On August 1, his father dropped him at the school at 7.50 AM. The parents received a phonecall sometime later about the incident. They rushed to Shanti Gopal hospital, but were told that Armaan was brought dead to the hospital. The documents show Armaan was brought to the hospital at 8 am.The school said Armaan had slipped in the corridor near his classroom and died.A medical room staff said Armaan was also kept in the school's medical room for about 5 minutes. He was taken to the hospital in a teacher's car.The parents have been alleging foul play as they claim that his post-mortem report clearly indicates fracture of the base of skull and fracture of the nasal bone."Aforesaid two injuries cannot be possibly caused simultaneously by a fall of Armaan Sehgal in the corridor, as the accused made us to believe," their counsel Singh said.The parents had earlier moved the National Human Rights Commission seeking to know the status of the probe into Armaan's death while alleging that the police have failed to look into various aspects such as the visible signs of CCTVs having been removed from the corridor where Armaan allegedly suffered the fatal fall.They have also made several prayers to ensure a safer environment in schools.
