¶29

The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner was married to Mr.Amuldass in the year 2005. Out of their wedlock, two male children were born. Due to difference of opinion, they got separated and custody of the children was given to the petitioner's husband. To her shock and surprise, on 15/8/2024, Ruso, elder son abandoned his paternal home and subsequently, approached the petitioner. At that time, he was studying X Standard in Government (Model) Higher Secondary School, Pattukottai. Since he fled from his father's place, petitioner had decided to join him in Government Model Higher Secondary School, Valangaiman. Hence, made a representation before the Head Master of the Government (Model) Higher Secondary School, Pattukottai for issuing Transfer certificate to her son, but the same was denied.

¶30

Thereafter, the petitioner had made a representation to the Headmaster Government Higher Secondary School (Men) Valangaiman for admission of his elder son in X Standard, but the Headmaster advised the petitioner to get the Transfer Certificate from Government Higher Secondary School, Pattukottai. Hence, the petitioner had again made a representation to the Headmaster Government Higher Secondary School, Pattukottai, for the issuance of Transfer Certificate. Since there was no response, the petitioner
