Lords International School , Chennai - Negative Feedback

Kind Attention : Mr.& Mrs. Navaneetha Krishnan, Father of Tarun Balaji

After reading your comment, I feel duty bound to explain what really happened in school during the time you have mentioned. Parent of Tarun Balaji , student of Grade 5 (2015-2016) , visited the school and gave the front office personnel , post dated cheques for tuition fee long after the due date and she wanted the payment confirmation receipt and tax deduction letter immediately.

The staff explained very clearly that it would not be possible to do so before the cheque clears. I think not only in India anywhere in the globe, no one will accept, that without a cheque being cleared for payment, to give a confirmed payment receipt.

This explanation did not sit well with the parent. She became very angry and behaved very badly towards the front office personnel and in the lobby in front of all children and other parents who were visiting. She started going around shouting slander to other visiting parents.

She came to the correspondent’s room and spoke in a very rough and disrespectful manner. There were other people present too who can vouch for the same. Not the school staff, but other parents were witness of the said encounter. Whatever happened in the school lobby is actually captured in the school CCTV for reference.

With all of the above she became aggressive and requested for TC application. She never listened to reason and Tarun Balaji was writing his exams at that time, and I asked her to wait which she would not do. She wanted her son out immediately. She pulled him roughly after throwing the TC application on the staff’s face. This is what happened and everything is on record.

Parents of Tarun Balaji have written such a slanderous, disrespectful and untruthful account of what happened and has maliciously caused a bad name to school. They have no right to comment about our correspondent’s background which is unwarranted to the happenings of the school. Our Chairman is the practicing Advocate in the Madras High Court and a Senior Counsel for the Central Government. Their action would clearly fall within the ambit of the ingredients of the offences of Defamation.

If this slanderous comment is not taken out with the unconditional apology within 24 hours, our management will take a legal action against you for the offences of Defamation before the court of law and you will have to face the legal consequences.
