Punjab government disaffiliates 187 schools

New Delhi: Taking serious view of the fact that Sanskriti School in the capital was following discriminatory policies, the Delhi High Court asked the well known school to explain its criteria for admission.

 

Senior Advocate Arvind Nigam, who was appointed amicus curiae (friend of the court) in the case, submitted his report that the school is fully funded by the central government and the children of top bureaucrats were mostly studying there.

 

Objecting to the school's step of giving admission to only children of bureaucrats, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Ajit Prakash Shah and Justice S.Muralidhar said: When the school is funded by the government then why there is discrimination? It is our money. A school cannot function like this.

 

Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam, who was appearing on behalf of the centre government, submitted: A separate school for the children of bureaucrats is there as that is the transferable job and children suffer the most in the whole affair.

 

But the bench looked dissatisfied by his submission and asked the counsel appearing for the school to explain the criteria under which it granted admission to children by Jan 13.

 

You cannot classify children like this. We understand the hardships faced by the government officers when they were transferred but that does not mean that others are being discriminated like this, the bench asked.

 

The bench passed the order taking a cognisance of a media report about the school two years ago.
