The Commission has asked the Chief Secretary to submit a report within four weeks on allegations that the school authorities cut off tufts of four children in order to distinguish them under the Right to Education quota.
The reports said that the students of Class I were made to stand separately in humiliation during the assembly and their lunch boxes were checked before they enter their classes, an NHRC spokesperson said.
The parents of the children have also alleged that the names of their wards have not been entered in the attendance register and the school makes them sit in the back benches and no home work is given to them, he said.
"The Commission has observed that allegations, if true, raise a serious issue of violation of the children. While seeking a report into these allegations, the Commission has also asked the Chief Secretary of Karnataka to inform it on the action taken against the school authorities under the Rights of Children to Free and Compulsory Act," the spokesperson said.
