Mumbai: Days after Orchid International School in Sion came under scrutiny for allegedly operating without the requisite approvals, another educational institution in the city has landed in controversy. On Thursday, an FIR was filed against Dr. J.N. Barua English School in Kurla for allegedly functioning without mandatory government recognition and approvals.
School Allegedly Running Without Approval Since 2010
The Maharashtra Education Department has initiated legal proceedings against the school's management after an inquiry reportedly found that the institution had been operating without the approval required under state regulations. According to the complaint filed by Education Inspector Chhaya Paradke of the Brihanmumbai Education Department, the school had admitted students and conducted academic activities despite allegedly lacking government recognition. The institution has reportedly been functioning since 2010.
The inquiry was launched following a complaint by advocate Shaikh Mohammed Hussain, who alleged professional misconduct, criminal intimidation and mental harassment by school authorities. Acting on the complaint, Paradke visited the school on April 1 to investigate the allegations and verify the institution's legal status.
