Nursery admission: HC rejects plea of private schools
21 Jan 2014 5:57 AM IST
A bench of chief justice NV Ramana and justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, while dismissing the plea, said, ‘We feel that the appellants (Action Committee Unaided Recognised Private Schools) have not shown any immediate injury due to the guidelines’.
The bench also noted that the LG’s guidelines have not been challenged by parents. Instead, they have welcomed it. The court said: ‘It would be detrimental to the interest of children as well as parents, who are seeking admission.’
The plea was filed challenging the guidelines issued by the LG, whereby steps were taken, such as including weightage to neighbourhood kids and abolition of 20% management quota.
While paving the way for resumption of admission process in nursery classes as per the Directorate of Education (DoE) guidelines, the bench cautioned the media against running unverified reports pertaining to its judgement on the issue. ‘There was no delay in passing of the judgement,’ the bench remarked.
On the dates issued for nursery admissions, Padmini Singla, Directorate of Education, said: ‘The admission process for nursery classes will start from 21 January and the last date for submission of admission applications in schools has been fixed for 5 February. Admissions will close on
31 March’.
