GOVT RUN RPVVS FAIL TO ADMIT 1400 STUDENTS IN IV CLASS IN 2012-13 SESSION – SOCIAL JURIST MOVES DELHI HIGH COURT

Social Jurist, A Civil Rights Group through Advocate Ashok Agarwal has filed petition on 20 April 2012 in Delhi High Court highlighting the fact that Delhi Government have again not started the process of admission of as many as 1400 students in Class VI in its 17 Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalayas (RPVVs) in the current academic year 2012-13, though the academic year has already started from 1st April, 2012. Petition says that the Government appears to be adamant to not to start the process of admission in Class VI in the academic year 2012-13. The Government are not justified in withholding the process of admission in Class VI in RPVVs. This inaction on the part of the Government is no less a criminal negligence as much as the same would result in non-utilisation of both physical and academic infrastructure available for the quality education of such students in these Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalayas (RPVVs). On the other hand, the ordinary Government Schools are not only over crowded but also sans quality physical and academic infrastructure. “This inaction on the part of the Government is in violation of the fundamental rights of the school aged students as guaranteed to them under Articles 14 (right to equality), 21(right to life with dignity), 21-A right to quality education) and 38 (right to social justice) of the Constitution of India read with the provisions of Right of Children to Free & Compulsory Education Act, 2009”, Social Jurist submitted in the petition. The hearing is likely in the next week. Ashok Agarwal, Advocate M-09811101923 21 April 2012
