Live Law  

The Delhi High Court in Col Devinder Sherawat vs. Deputy Commissioner Sdmc And Ors, has issued directions to authorities concerned to prevent untoward incidents in future in Delhi schools.It gave the directions while hearing a public interest litigation on the death of a four-year-old boy named Master Ankit by falling into an open sewer pit at SDMC Primary School, Kapashera, on 21.07.2016,. The Delhi High Court in Col Devinder Sherawat vs. Deputy Commissioner Sdmc And Ors, has issued directions to authorities concerned to prevent untoward incidents in future in Delhi schools. He contended that apart from these specific incidents, there was also dereliction of duties on the part of SDMC in general in maintaining municipal services and resolving the civil issues and therefore, necessary inquiry needed to be directed into the two incidents and penal action should be taken against the erring staff members and the school authorities apart from taking steps to ensure that no such incidents would happen in future in Delhi schools. In order to ensure that no such incidents would happen in future in Delhi schools, the Delhi High Court through its division bench comprising Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal issued the following directions: That all the schools in Delhi, including MCD, NDMC, government schools, private schools and government-aided schools, shall carry out periodical inspections of the school buildings and premises and submit a quarterly report to the office of Directorate of Education, Caretaking Branch, GNCTD.
