Priority In Admission To Kendriya Vidyalaya Not A Vested Right: Karnataka HC Declines Plea By Students Seeking 'Grandparents Sponsoring Quota'

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court has said that priority in admission to school cannot be construed to be a vested right and priority provided in the previous academic year cannot be enforced as a legal right for continuation of such quota. The appellants had questioned the single judge bench order which had rejected their petition seeking preference in admission to Kendriya Vidyalaya, for the academic year 2024-2025, under "Grandparents Sponsoring Quota" which was not made available this year. Further, the priority in admission cannot be claimed as a matter of vested right and the quota cannot be extended when such priority is not provided in the guidelines issued for the year 2024-2025. On going through the records the court said, “When such a preference is specifically not provided in the guidelines 2024-2025, which governs the admission process for the academic year 2024-2025, the admission of the appellants cannot be considered as per guidelines 2023-2024.” Rejecting the contention of appellants that such preference was available in the previous year, it said, “When preference was expressly provided in the earlier year guidelines and such preference is conspicuously absent in the guidelines 2024-2025, the reading of the preferences in the passion as suggested by the appellants is not permissible, that too in view of the specific stand taken by the respondent authorities that the quota for grandchildren is not intended nor provided for.” Noting that appellants have not raised a challenge to guidelines 2024-2025, Court said “The exclusion of preference for grandchildren can neither be faulted nor interfered with by the Court.” Dismissing the appeal the court said “In light of the change of priorities in the guidelines 2024-2025 and the sound and well-acceptable reasons assigned by the learned Single Judge, no error can be booked to interfere with the order.” Appearance: Advocate Srikanth M P for Appellants.
