Delhi High Court sets aside Lieutenant Governor's guidelines allowing private unaided schools to set their own guidelines for nursery admissions [Read the Judgment]

Live Law  

The Delhi High Court on Friday allowed private unaided schools to set their own guidelines for nursery admissions. The court set aside the Lieutenant Governor's previous guidelines issued in this regard and held that the administrative autonomy of schools could not be restricted by official orders. The court based the above finding on, among others, the following reasoning: Having heard the learned counsel for parties, this Court is of the view that private unaided school managements have a fundamental right under Articles 19 of the Constitution to run and administer their schools The concept of autonomy has not only been recognized but also conferred upon private unaided schools by virtue of Section 16 of the DSE Act, 1973 and Rule 145 of the DSE Rules, 1973. No misuse or malpractice as admissions to nursery classes were being carried out by private unaided schools in accordance with an earlier notification issued by the Administration in pursuance to the Expert Ganguly Committee Reports appointed by this Court.
