On Wednesday, the Superior Court of Delhi withdrew on Wednesday to the public school of Delhi Dwarka for treating students with “indignity” about a rate dispute when connecting them in a library and not allowing the subject to attend classes or interact with their classmates.
Judge Sachin Data said the school, which treated students like “Chattel”, deserved to be closed. The Superior Court emphasized to place some safeguards to ensure that students were not “tortured” by the school, which the institution directed simply as a “money making.”
In dramatic scenes, several students in their school uniform, with books and bags, were present in judicial procedures along with their parents. “I worry that students treat students in a poor and inhuman condition that is presented in the inspection report. Assuming the rate is not paid, you have the right to take measures, but surely not this way. What is happening this?
The HC examined an inspection report of an eight -members committee led by the district magistrate (southwest), marking several discriminatory practices against students in the middle of the row of tariff roads. The report says that students were forbidden to attend regular classes and confined in the library, restricted access to the canteen, were not allowed to communicate with friends and monitored closely by the duration visits of the guards.
“What son of behavior is this? Such a school does not deserve to be open for a single day. Should he carry out thorough investigation on this? What action is walking? They are treating students as Chattel. What action is (what he does), again again, again, against, against, against, against, against being asked?
The parents of the injured students affirmed that the school authorities harassed their children for the lack of payment of the “unauthorized rate.” The committee report revealed “very alarming state of things” at school, which was harassing students with the appearance of lack of tariffs, the court said. The government should take over the school, he added.
The Court in its Facie Prima Instructions ordered the institution to refrain from limiting students in the library and allowed them to attend classes. He directed against his segregation of other students or prevented them from interacting with their friends or preventing them from accessing school’s comforts.
“It must criminally process the school director for subjecting students to such an indignity,” the court added.
The matter was due to the students’ supplication in a pending DPS request in the Dwarka region of the national capital. The school transferred to the Court in July 2024, assaulting a notice of July 18, 2024 of the National Commission for the Protection of Children’s Rights, ordering the Deputy Police Commissioner to register a FIR one under the Law of Youth Justice (care and protection of children) against the school.
The NCPCR address was based on the expulsion of school students due to the lack of payment of the highest rate, the publication of their names on the school’s website and the supposed inability to sacrifice assistance to a student girl duration of their periods.
The court, in an interim order, previously remained in the NCPCRS notice. While the students said that ready to pay the amount of the approved rate, the school lawyer said that the exhibition causes were issued to the students in December last year failed to eliminate the School of Notes to Toured.
The name of these students was attacked with effect as of April 1, 2025, said the lawyer. While the school said that only nine students were in the library, the student’s lawyer said there were 19 of them.
The lawyer of the Directorate of Education (DOE), the Government of Delhi, in the hand of Barthher, said he issued an exhibition notice on April 8, asking the school to explain within seven days why he should not take recognition measures against him.
He said that the inspection team also went to school on April 15, when the children were found sitting in the library and school management refused to sign in the minutes of the meeting. “It is not the case of lack of rate payment. These students have paid the approved rate,” said Delhi’s lawyer.
The DOE, Hey, he said, was proposing to cancel the recognition of the school. The Court asked the school to make sure that no student was discriminated against in any way and addressed the Doe and the district magistrate worried to carry out the regular inspection of the school to guarantee compliance with the court order.
He said that in case of any violation, measures will be taken against the school. “You are defending the indefensible,” the court told the school lawyer.
While issuing a notice to school on the students’ statement, the Court published the hearing on May 5.
On April 15, Delhi’s Prime Minister Rekha Gupta said that notes to schools about complaints of arbitrary increases in rates were issued and said that his government is committed to transparency and protection of children’s rights in education. These schools have been asked to respond, reproving what strict measures will be taken against them, Gupta said. PTI.
“No school has the right to harass parents about rates or eliminate students unfairly,” he added.
