Dear Madam/ Sir


Shri Harish Chand r/o Jg 2/524 Vikaspuri, New Delhi (M-9311829107) has complained to me that his daughter Jaya Budhiraja has been studying in Banasthali Public School, G Block, Vikaspuri, New Delhi-18 since 2004-05 under EWS category and presently she has appeared in class VIII examinations in the academic session 2010-11 and despite results been declared on 22/03/2011, the Report Card has not given to her daughter Jaya. The reason is: the school is illegally asking the parents to pay a sum of Rs. 4,500/- to wards fees. Since the parents have refused it meet the said illegal demand of the school, the school has denied Report Card to the student. A complaint by the parent in attached hereto.

It is a serious matter. The action of the school management is not only contrary to the provisions of Delhi School Education Act, 1973 but also tantamount to contempt of Hon’ble Delhi High Court.

Kindly take immediate action in this matter directing the school to forthwith handover the Report Card Jaya Budhiraja without insisting for payment of any money.


With regard
