New Delhi: In a setback for private schools, a two judge bench of Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed the petition filed by private schools saying that nursery admissions will be held as per the orders of the Lieutenant Governor.
The High Court had earlier rejected the petition of the private schools to stay Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's order on nursery admissions. The petitioners had questioned the power by which Jung issued guidelines for nursery admissions in Delhi.
The petition was filed by Delhi School Association after Jung made some changes in nursery admission process and decided to put an end to the management quota following protests by parents. The petitioners argued that the order compromised the autonomy of private unaided schools in Delhi.
The L-G had passed guidelines in 2013, which ended the 20 per cent management quota in private schools.
