Changing Name Of School Would Create Confusion For Students & Parents: Kerala High Court Quashes KESCPCR Order

Live Law  

The manager of an unaided school functioning under the provisions of the Kerala Education Act and Rules thereunder with the name 'Little Flower Girls Higher Secondary School' approached the Kerala High Court against orders issued by authorities to remove the term 'Girls' from its name. It stated that the school need not change its name based on the orders issued by the Kerala State Commission For Protection Of Child Rights since it would create confusion. Their specific case was that changing the school's name by removing the term 'Girls' would create confusion in the minds of students and teachers since they only admitted girls from 5th to 12th standards. The Court stated that the Kerala State Commission For Protection Of Child Rights passed the direction for changing the school's name without hearing them.
