HP High Court refuses to quash FIR against principal who called student a thief in class

The Himachal Pradesh High Court has declined to quash an FIR registered against a school principal accused of publicly calling a student a thief before classmates and showing CCTV footage in class. The principal had sought relief partly on the basis of a psychologist's report that found no trauma in the student. The court ruled that the absence of documented trauma does not warrant dropping criminal proceedings at this stage. It held that mental trauma is a matter to be established during trial, not as a precondition for prosecution. The court further observed that if the allegations are proven true, they would clearly constitute a criminal offence.
