Why draw of lots in nursery admission be not held afresh?: HC -PTI
The Delhi High Court today asked the city government to inform it why draw of lots in nursery admission be not held afresh for all seats under neighbourhood scheme instead of just for those seats which were vacated after inter-state transfer category was scrapped.
Justice Manmohan asked the counsel for the government to take instructions from the directorate of education and listed the matter for further hearing tomorrow.
The court was hearing a plea against city government's decision to do away with the system of allocating points to inter-state transfer cases of children seeking admission in nursery classes here.
Delhi government had on February 27 issued a notification scrapping the inter-state transfer category under which it used to give five points to children whose parents have been transferred to the national capital from another state.
The notification was issued by the government after it admitted in court that there was misuse of the inter-state category.
The petition challenging the February 27 notification as being "totally arbitrary and unjustified" has been filed by Major Saurabh Charan and some other parents who have sought quashing of the government's decision to do away with the inter-state transfer category.
The petition has also sought directions to the government "to confirm the list of successful candidates/applicants including the children of present petitioners published by the schools prior to the passing of the impugned notification/ order..."
In the alternative, they have sought that draw of lots be conducted afresh for all seats under neighbourhood category by cancelling the entire draw held prior to February 27 and not just of those children who had availed of the benefit of the inter-state transfer category.
Under the earlier system, out of the total 100 points, 70 were given if the child lives in the neighbourhood of the school, additional 20 were given if a sibling is studying there, five points more if either parent is an alumni and another five points if it is an inter-state transfer case.
Those having 90 or more points are directly admitted while the rest have to undergo the draw of lots for admission.

Seeking justice from indian govt. is foolishness wen we all knw dt the govt itself is corrupt... Some1 raise the right point that wen our govt. cudn't provide quality education in govt schools after so many years due to corruption, hw can it ensure justice to each one of us . there is no justice even if a single student miss admission in nursery. its rather shame.

But Mr sachin sapra ji, how wud u justify court permission to let the draw happen and the circumstances developed after that... after all if a court failed to provide justice which was its only job, it needs to be criticized for sure.

ADMISSION POLICY AND RULES ARE MADE BY DELHI GOVT AND LG. IT IS THEIR FAULT FOR MESSING UP THE SITUATION. COURTS DONT MAKE LAWS AND POLICY. PLEASE BLAME THEM NOT COURTS. SO FAR COURT HAS NOT ORDERED RE-DRAW BUT IT HAS ASKED GOVT AS TO HOW IT WILL APPROACH THE NEW SITUATION. IF TRANSFER RULE IS CHANGED IN THE MIDDLE OF ADMISSION DUE TO STUPIDITY OF GOVT ETC THEN COURT HAS TO ENSURE THAT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IS MAINTAINED AND GENUINE TRANSFER CASES ARE NOT GIVEN A RAW DEAL. MY DAUGHTER IS SELECTED IN ONE SCHOOL AND IS IN WAITLIST IN ANOTHER. WE HAVE TO RESPECT COURTS AND PROTEST AGAINST GOVT WHO MAKE LAWS WHICH THEY THEMSELVES ARE NOT SURE OF. COURT DID NOT CANCEL TFR POINTS , LG SUO MOTO INFORMED THE COURT THAT IT IS SCRAPPING IT COS LG COULD NOT RESPOND TO COURT AS TO WHAT WAS THE BASIS OF TRANSFER POINTS AT THE START OF THE SESSION.

But till the transfer points were questioned in the court, was it not court's duty to withheld draw until points system is finalized. Why did the intelligent high court let the draw happen at all wen the matter for points was already in court. Should not court give a stay on draw till that time is my question dear.

COURTS DO NOT GO BEYOND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE. IF SOME PARENTS WENT TO COURT AGAINST SCRAPPING OF TFR POINTS THEN COURT WILL NOT STAY THE WHOLE PROCESS AS IT WAS NOT SOUGHT BY THE PETITIONERS.
NOW GENUINE TFR CASE ARE GOING TO COURT WITH A RELIEF THEN COURT WILL DECIDE ON THAT RELIEF ONLY.
GOVERNANCE AND MAKING LAWS IS JOB OF GOVT NOT COURT . I THINK NOW GOVT SHOULD SUO MOTO RETHINK ABOUT THE ENTIRE GUIDLINES AFRESH. IT IS FOR GOVT TO ADMIT THAT IT HAS MESSED UP. WHICH THEY WILL NOT COS OF SUPER EGO'S THEY HAVE.
I AM AWARE THAT SOME MORE PARENTS ARE GONG TO APPROACH COURT AGST
SIBLING AND ALUMNI AND EVEN LOGIC OF 8 KM.
SCHOOLS WENT TO THE COURT FOR SCRAPPING CURRENT GUIDELINES ON THE GROUND THAT THEIR AUTONOMY HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY . THEY SOUGHT STAY BUT COURT REFUSED COS SCHOOLS WANTED MGMT QUOTA BACK.
NO ONE WAS AWARE OF PROBLEMATIC RESULTS OF NEW NORMS AND NOW WHEN THEY ARE OUT AGGRIEVED PARENTS ARE RIGHTLY APPROACHING COURT.
WE ALL ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. LETS HOPE SOMETHING GOOD COMES OUT.

COURTS DO NOT GO BEYOND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE- This one line from you clears my doubt and brings back respect fr the court. thats why i was talking to an expert like u on this :) - But i think court should also give a hard comment on the govt in time and accept that this year, nothng can be done now and let the schools play their card themselves.

Already they started inquiry after complaints of fake transfer cases before,do you think that DOE can produce such a big data of fake transfer in one day ?

All the points other than neighborhood points should be scrapped....and even these points should be slabbed.
On one side we talk about right to education, and on the other we have points like sibling...which leads to sure shot admissions. If one child from a family gets to study at a good school should it entitle the siblings too??? at the cost of children from families who are not so lucky. Are their children not entitled to goods schools....
These points make schools closed elite groups....schools like DPS EOK / Modern School have filled up all their seats using sibling / alumni points....closing their gates to all other parents.

Boss. don't let this opportunity go waste. Lets us fight against murderous alumni points. Let us give this bloody malaise a decent burial. Not only that sibling points should either be totally scrapped or at least be capped. Last week Delhi HC already said that if separate plea is filled against alumni & sibling criteria, the court certainly would give a patient hearing; the Hon'b'le chief justice of Delhi HC said that.
