Granting temporary relief to private unaided schools, the Delhi high court allowed them to carry on admissions based on the pre-existing criteria, including management quota.
Justice Manmohan, however, made it clear that admissions will be subject to the final verdict of the court. It was also sceptical about the legality of schools having criteria depending on parents’ personal preferences like smoking, eating non-vegetarian food and consuming alcohol. Such criteria, if being implemented by any private school, amounts to maladministration. Issuing notice to the AAP government on a petition filed by an association of schools, the court asked it to explain its decision to the scrap management quota in nursery admissions in private schools. The court will take up the matter on January 28.
