<p>As many as 30 students could not write their SSLC exams that began on Wednesday, as they did not have the hall tickets. The reason: Their schools had no recognition. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Among them, several belong to Swami Vivekananda School (SVS) in Saraipalya, Thanisandra, while the others are from the nearby St George School. <br /><br />Mohammed Wajhad, a student of SVS, and his mother Tabassum spent the entire day running from one education official to another.<br /><br />“The parents tried to persuade the BEO to let the students write the rest of the exams. However, he sternly refused. The authorities are now saying that they will have to write the supplementary exams,” said a relative of Wajhad. <br /><br />“The principal kept saying that the admit cards were with him, and when we went to the school, he was absconding,” he said. Parents and students staged a protest outside the school on Wednesday. <br /><br />According to officials, the extreme measure was taken as SVS is an unauthorised school. <br /><br />S M Ramesh, Block Education Office (BEO), South Zone 4, has filed a criminal case against the school at the Hennur police station. <br /><br />A senior police officer said that the school had permission to teach only till class five. <br /><br />“The BEO has lodged a complaint against Nagaraj, the principal. The school had permission only for classes 1 to 5. But students were admitted till class 10. He had collected a few documents from the students, but he had not sent them to the exam board,” he said. <br /><br />The principal has been booked under Sections 468, 465, 480 and 420 of the IPC.<br />The nearby St George School (SGS) is also in the dock. Police sources said, “Some of the students from class 10 at SGS were tagged along with those of SVS to write the exam.” <br /><br />According to a rough estimate, of the 30 students who have not been issued hall tickets, 10 are from SGS.<br /><br />Philomena Lobo, director, Secondary Education, DPI, said that while SVS had faked all documents regarding recognition, SGS had recognition, but had not got it renewed. A report by Ramesh on the matter said both the schools were established in 2011.<br /><br />Nasir Khan, parent of a student who studies at SGS, said, “My son studied in the school from class 8 and we did not have any problems before.
