Purpose Of Admitting Students In Schools Under EWS Category Is To Ensure Access To Quality Education To Under-Privileged Students: Delhi High Court

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court has observed that the purpose of admitting students to schools under the Economically Weaker Section category is to ensure that students of the under-privileged strata of society get access to quality education as envisaged under Article 21A of the Constitution of India. Justice Rekha Palli was dealing with a petition moved by a private unaided and recognised school, assailling the order dated 17.01.2022 passed by the Directorate of Education of Delhi Government vide which the school's request for grant of exemption from admitting 25 students in the EWS category based on the permissible intake to the schools was rejected. "Having considered the submissions of the parties and perused the record, even though I am inclined to agree with the petitioner school that it is obligated to admit only 25% students vis-à-vis the number of number of students admitted in the general category, the issue in the present matter is whether the action of the petitioner to fill only 52 seats in the general category as against the much higher number of available seats is bona fide or not," the Court said. It added "In my considered opinion, what must be kept in mind while considering the present application, is that the purpose of admitting the students to such schools under the EWS category is to ensure that students of the under-privileged strata of society get access to quality education as envisaged under Article 21A of the Constitution of India, especially from the schools which have the requisite infrastructure.
