Gauri will go to school from Thursday 18 july
New Delhi : Delhi High Court (V. K. Jain J) has today while disposing of the petition directed the principal of Rajkiya Sarvodya Kanya Vidyalaya, Patparganj to grant admission to Gauri Kumari in class VI by Thursday this week. These directions came on the petition filed by 14 years old student Gauri through Advocate Ashok Agarwal seeking directions for admission in the school as the school was denying admission on the alleged ground of non-availability of seat.
Ashok Agarwal Advocate appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has earlier been studying in Sarvodaya Kanaya Vidhaylaya-1002031, Patparganj.. Lastly she was studying in class 6 in the year 2010-11. During July 2010, her family started facing severe poverty that forces her mother not only to withdraw Gauri from the school but also to send her to an Orphanage in Haridwar where she stayed nearly for 2 years. There was no provision for education for the petitioner in the Orphanage. Her mother realized that she should bring the petitioner back to home. Accordingly she brought back the petitioner from the Orphanage to home and started approaching the School for admission in class 8 as class 8 would be the age appropriate class for her. However, the principal of the said school denied her admission saying that “No seats available”.
Gauri will now go to the school once again from Thursday, 18.07.2013 and complete her school.
