New Delhi: Refusing to give relief to Delhi schools in the nursery admission case, the Supreme Court on Friday upheld High Court’s decision that the process be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Ganguly Committee report.
This in effect means that the ban imposed by Delhi High Court on interviews for nursery kids and their parents at the time of admission remains.
A bench comprising the Chief Justice-designate K G Balakrishnan and Justice D K Jain, however, granted liberty to the petitioners to approach the High Court afresh for raising their objections vis-a-vis the Ganguly committee recommendations.
Earlier, south Delhi’s Shriram School and Vasant Valley school had filed a petition challenging the December 8, 2006 order of the High Court.
The petitioners have challenged the 100-point criteria recommended by the Committee terming it as an attempt to take away the autonomy of private schools.
The schools contended that the High Court did not pay proper attention to the objections raised by them regarding the recommendation/100-point scale for selection of children for admission to nursery.
