No Rule That Students Can't Be Sent Away For Education: Bombay High While Directing Navodaya Vidyalaya To Admit 5 Students to Class VII

Live Law  

Observing that a child may be sent away from hometown to pursue education, the Bombay High Court recently quashed the cancellation of admission of five 11-year-old students in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, District Ratnagiri. The court further observed that once admission to Class VI, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya is granted, it cannot be cancelled on the basis that the student did not complete one whole year of study in Class V as the admission was delayed due to COVID. In Anushka Sambhaji Patil v. Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, the Bombay High Court held that students who have passed Class V and qualified the entrance exam cannot be considered ineligible just because they did not study in Class V for the whole academic session. The High Court had recognized that the admissions in Class III to V commenced a few months after the start of the academic year 2020-21 due to the COVID pandemic which led to students of those standards not studying for the “whole academic year” Since the facts of the Anushka Patil case are identical to the present case, its ratio decidendi is also applicable, the court held.
