HC notice to school for 'throwing out' 60 girl students

Parents of over 60 girl students have moved the Delhi High court, seeking justice for their children who have been "abruptly" thrown out of the government-aided Seth Beni Pershad Jaipuriya Girls Senior Secondary School by its management.

While admitting the petition filed by parents of the affected children, Justice Anil Kumar issued a notice to the school management - Seth Beni Pershad Jaipuriya Charitable Trust which runs the school.

According to Ashok Agarwal, counsel for the parents, the students were studying in different classes of the school till April 25, 2006 when it closed for the summer vacation.

However, when the school reopened after the vacation, the management refused to allow the students to pursue their education further.

It was alleged by the counsel that the mangement "abruptly threw out" the children as it was seeking to convert the school into a unaided institution.

The parents pleaded in the petition that the action of the management would deprive the girls of their entire academic year as it would not be possible for them to get admitted into other schools since the present academic year had already commenced.
