BALA vs NCT OF DELHI .

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 20.10.2005, which dismissed Smt. Bala's writ petition seeking compensation for her son's death due to alleged negligence by school authorities. The Court found the High Court's dismissal to be untenable and directed the appellant to submit a detailed representation to the Chief Secretary of the NCT of Delhi, which must be considered sympathetically by the authorities. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside without remitting the case back for fresh consideration.
