Kochi, Saturday, October 16, 2010: The direction issued by Kerala High Court asking the police to conduct an independent enquiry into the ‘genuiness’ of students admitted in all aided schools, has not been taken well by School Teachers Association here, which dubbed it as an ‘insult’ to the teaching community.

A division bench, comprising Justice C N Ramachandran Nair and K Surendra Mohan, gave the direction yesterday on an appeal by the Parents Teachers Association of SNV Upper Primary School, Thalikkulam, Thrissur, challenging a single judge’s dismissal of their petition.

The bench had also directed police to examine registers in schools to find out whether any ‘bogus’ students had been admitted.

Police should collect identification marks of students genuinely studying in those schools and conduct an independent enquiry without taking the help of Education department officials, the bench held.
