Two years ago, I was the vice principal of a private school. A few students hadn’t paid their fees by the deadline despite repeated reminders to them and their families. We asked them to stay back after assembly for a few hours in a shaded area. One student was there by mistake, his fees were paid, but a clerical error put him on the list. We later apologized to his parents, but they filed a criminal case against us. We’ve now received a bailable warrant. Should I go to court and get bail? We never abused the student verbally or physically, and admitted our mistake. What should I do?

Yes, you should appear in court and apply for bail. It is advisable to consult a lawyer immediately. While admitting the mistake and the lack of physical or verbal abuse are positive factors, the parents’ complaint and the issuance of a bailable warrant necessitate legal representation to understand the charges and navigate the legal process.
