November 5th, 2009 - 9:27 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Thursday issued notices to three private schools for not giving admissions to students from economically weak families.
A division bench comprising Justices A.K. Sikri and Siddharth Mridul issued notices to Modern School, Indian School and Frank Anthony Public school for not complying with the court’s order of giving admission to students from weak financial background.
The court was hearing a public interest petition filed by Social Jurist, an NGO, that said the schools were allotted public land on concessional rates on the condition that they would also admit students from economically weaker sections.
Ashok Aggarwal, counsel for Social Jurist, said there were complaints that some schools do not issue admission forms to parents of such children.
