When he complained to the Warden, he was roughed up by the school staff. He complained to the Commission about the entire incident on 4 July 2000. 4.101 The Commission got the matter enquired by the Superintendent of Police, Shimla. It was reported that a criminal case under section 376 IPC had been registered at Police Station Dhalli.

If the residential school is run by the Government, the failure of protective obligation renders the State liable for the wrong suffered by the child.
