In Crl.MC.No. 237 of 2018, RAJAN @ RAJU vs STATE OF KERALA, the teacher was alleged to have jabbed a student of Class II for committing mistakes in a mathematics lesson. The parent of child caused the registration of FIR against the teacher who approached the High Court to quash the criminal case.
The Court noted that the child had not suffered any major injuries and none of the witnesses stated that she cried or that she was in such a discomfort that she had to be taken home of endurance. Parents, teachers and other persons in loco parentis are entitled as a disciplinary measure to apply a reasonable degree of force to their children or pupil old enough to understand the purpose to which the act was done. Section 79 and 80 of the IPC would come to his/her rescue, in those cases. Hurt of a less serious crime is not forbidden when inflicted in the reasonable chastisement of a child by a parent or by a school teacher to whom the parent has delegated or is deemed to have delegated his authority , the Court said.
