I was beaten and Physically assaulted by a teacher for a small issue


21-Nov-2025 (In Criminal Law)
I was late to school due to a Rapido delay and reached at 9:10. A teacher slapped me 15–20 times, my glasses fell twice, and my friend was hit with a steel scale. We were made to stand outside for 3 hours. Later, two girls who were also late were allowed to enter without punishment. This was humiliating and discriminatory. I request action against the staff involved.

Complain to the higher authority or Block education officer, if he doesn't listen then to the District Education officer. Give a complaint in writing to the police and keep a copy of that complaint. You can also approach the Human Rights commission for such indiscriminatory behaviour.

RTE Act, 2009 (Section 17): Forbids physical punishment and mental harassment, making contravention a punishable disciplinary offense. Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (Section 75): Punishes cruelty to a child, which covers abuse by anyone in charge, including teachers, with up to 3 years imprisonment and fines. Indian Penal Code (IPC): Sections like 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 352 (assault) can apply, leading to jail or fines.
