Karnataka HC: Schools Can't Be Derecognised Just For "Unfortunate Accident"

Karnataka High Court on October 3 said that the recognition of any educational institution cannot be withdrawn taking into account just an "unfortunate accident". The court said the de-recognition can be done only if there are deficiencies in maintaining "standards of education, infrastructure and general moral, and social standards." The court gave the statement while quashing the "de-recognition order" for a school, wherein an accident happened during the school excursion.
