An administrator of Ryan International School, arrested for negligence in the murder of an eight-year-old boy, on Wednesday requested the Supreme Court to transfer his case from Gurgaon to a Delhi court.<\/p>\n
Francis Thomas, the administrator of school\u2019s north zone, told the court that lawyers in Gurgaon and neighbouring Sohna were not ready to represent him or other accused in the case.<\/p>\n
Thomas was arrested on September 10, two days after the Class 2 student of Ryan International in Bhondsi, near Gurgaon, was found with his throat slit outside a school toilet, a murder that shook the country with parents seeking stringent action against the private school chain.<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019s lawyer senior advocate KTS Tulsi told a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra that the district bar associations of both places had passed a resolution on September 9 not to defend the accused.<\/p>\n
Lawyers from Delhi were physically prevented from appearing in the district court, Tulsi said, adding it amounted to denial of justice and violated the accused\u2019s right to fair trial.<\/p>\n
Francis wants the case to be heard by a Saket court.<\/p>\n
The SC will next hear the case of September 18.<\/p>\n
The top court had on Monday sought replies from the Centre, Haryana and others on a petition filed by the boy\u2019s father for a CBI probe into his son\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
