HC pulls up AAP govt for 11th hour nursery admission norms

The AAP government on Thursday felt the heat of the Delhi High Court for coming out with nursery admission norms at the “eleventh hour” which has not only caused “chaos and confusion” but also wasted “valuable” judicial time.

“Why do you come out with such notifications at the eleventh hour always? Every notification is in December end or January. This notification should have been issued for the next year (2018), so that parents are ready in advance.

“The moment the issue comes before the court, we have to devote valuable time leaving aside other matters ... Why do you put everyone in jeopardy? Why this chaos and confusion every time? The government should be for the people and it should not be obstructionist,” Justice Manmohan said when the matter came up for hearing before him. Delhi government, in their defence, said the decision was taken with “good intentions”.
