Conflicts between schools and parents are hardly uncommon, but one such extreme case has resulted in a 13-year-old girl being deprived of her right to education for two years.

Due to a tussle between her parents and the school administration, the teenager has not seen the inside of a classroom since August 2013, and as a result, has been languishing in Std V since then. The authorities have pulled up both the school and the parents for ignoring the child’s needs.
