Directing the Superintendent of Child Observation Home, Karnal, where the accused is housed, to allow him to appear in the exam at Jail Centre, Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan in the order also said that the Superintendent will make necessary arrangements to allow the accused reach the centre an hour before the examination.

“…and after the exam is over, the applicant/petitioner may be taken back to the observation home,” reads the order.

A class II student had been found with throat slit inside a washroom of a prominent Gurgaon school on September 8 in 2017. Haryana Police had earlier arrested a bus conductor for the murder but the CBI later arrested the juvenile, who was then a class XI student, in the case.
