The High Court has issued directions saying schools must address bullying based on gender identity and sexual orientation. The order came while hearing a petition filed by the mother of a 16-year-old boy who studied at a prominent school in Faridabad.

According to the petition, the boy died on February 24, 2022. The mother accused the school authorities and the headmistress, although the specific allegations were not detailed in the input.

The court gave the directions in response to the plea. Further details on the proceedings and the current status of the case were not provided in the source material.
