Kapoor’s counsel told the Court that the teacher and the student did not interact in the days leading to the death of the student either because of holidays or because either the student or the teacher were on leave.
As such, there was very little communication between the teacher and the deceased student prior to the teenager’s death. Therefore, it was not a case where Kapoor could be booked for abetment of suicide, the counsel argued.
The Court was also told that a three-member Committee formed by the school under the Protection of Child Rights Act, 2001 had found that Kapoor did not harass the student, and that he was a good teacher.
