HC directs deaf and dumb school to issue TC to students


The Madras High Court has ordered the management of the Tirupur Deaf and Dumb School at Kothapalayam in Coimbatore to issue transfer certificates to the students on Wednesday, said P. Chandrasekar, the District Differently-abled Officer.

Speaking to The Hindu over phone from Chennai, he said the order copies will reach the District Administration only on Thursday. Already four students had taken transfer certificate and got admitted in another school and parents of eight students are expected to visit the school to get the TC for their wards.

It is expected that the entire students of the school might be shifted to Corporation School for Deaf and Dumb and a few other recognised schools run by NGOs in the city in a day or two, officials in the Department of Differently-abled Welfare and District Child Protection Office said.

After a complaint lodged by one of the staff members of the school on sexual harassment, the correspondent of the Tirupur Deaf and Dumb School K. Murugasamy (57) and four staff were arrested and remanded on May 9 by the Karumathampatty police. The recognition given to the School was cancelled on June 15 by the Commissioner for the Department of Differently-abled Welfare.

Mr. Murugasamy was managing schools for special children at Veerapandi and Kothapalayam villages in Tirupur district and at Semmandampalayam in Coimbatore.
