JOIN USThe High Court of Karnataka on Friday stayed further proceedings against Rustom Kerawalla, the chairman of Vibgyor High school, till the next date of hearing.
Kerawalla was arrested and later released on bail after a six-year-old girl was allegedly raped by two staffers in the school.
Kerawalla had approached the court contending that the police had wrongly implicated in the case for “not co-operating” with them in the investigation into the incident.
The counsel for Kerawalla submitted that the latter was in Mumbai and there was no question of him not cooperating with the investigation. He had sought to quash the proceedings.
During the hearing, the court observed that the rape at the school had put the entire country to shame.
Justice A N Venugopala Gowda granted stay on proceedings against Kerawalla.
