Chinese School Seeks Court Order
A Chinese language school in Kolkata, called Pei Mei Chinese School, is asking the court to make security guards leave their building.
The guards, from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), have been staying there for over a year and a half.
The school wants the building back so they can start teaching again, especially because the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
The guards were put there to help keep a nearby hospital safe.
The school teaches Chinese to about 20 to 30 students from class 1 to 10.
The school's family has tried to ask the guards to leave nicely, but they didn't get any answer, so they had to go to court.
