Students cannot be thrown out of government schools, said the Delhi High Court on Friday. It was hearing a plea seeking direction to the government to grant readmission to 42,503 children who had failed the Class X CBSE exams this year.
A Bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V.K. Rao asked the counsel for the government to seek instructions on the matter and inform it on August 28. The court asked how could the authorities throw out students and where would they go. It was hearing a plea filed by NGO Social Jurist in a pending petition highlighting denial of admission to students in government schools in the Capital.
