The Allahabad High Court will hear tomorrow a case related to the death of a 10-year-old boy who died under mysterious circumstances in his school here on August 1 with his parents alleging negligence by institute's management.
Arman Sehgal, a student of class 4, allegedly slipped and fell down outside his classroom, suffering severe head injury due to which he became unconscious, the police had said.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital where doctors declared him brought dead, they had said.
Arman's parents had lodged a complaint with the police against the school principal and the management in which they alleged that their son died due to their negligence.
His mohter Swati Sehgal told PTI over the phone that the case was fixed for today but has been postponed for tomorrow as a number of cases were listed for hearing.
