The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday informed the Supreme Court that its chargesheet is ready in a case concerning the slapping of a Muslim boy in Muzaffarnagar by his classmates on the orders of their teacher, who peppered the abuse with communal remarks against the child.
Appearing before a Bench headed by Justice A.S. Oka, the State counsel said the government was awaiting sanction to file the chargesheet in the trial court.
The court also directed the State to file an affidavit on the application made by the boy’s father that the government was not helping with his study materials, books and uniform.
