Subject: Ms. Kulsum and Ms. Yasmin denied admission in Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 3, M Block, Raghubir Nagar for classes IX and XI respectively

Dear Madam,

I have been informed by Shri Irshad, resident of R-535, Raghubir Nagar, Delhi- 110027 [Mob.- 991826520], that his two daughters Ms. Kulsum and Ms. Yasmin have been denied admission into Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 3, M Block, Raghubir Nagar for classes IX and XI respectively .

Ms. Kulsum and Ms. Yasmin were residing in Delhi earlier but went to Uttar Pradesh as their father had to go there for work. After the completion of the work, Shri Irshad and his daughters returned to Delhi and Ms. Kulsum and Ms. Yasmin sought admission in Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 1, Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 2 as well as Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 3, Raghubir Nagar. Each of the three schools however denied admission to both the girls. Ms. Kulsum and Ms. Yasmin wrote letters to the Principal of Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 2 on 19.07.2014 regarding the matter, but did not receive any response. It is submitted that despite DDE repeatedly asking HOS to admit these girl students, the school did not grant them admission.

Both girls are possessing their respective Transfer Certificates, which have been counter-signed and are valid, as well as their marksheets. There are thus no grounds for denying the girls admission into the school and the school’s actions are arbitrary and unjust. This act of the school will most severely damage their career and lives.

I thus request you to look into the matter and direct Govt. Girls Secondary School No. 3, M Block, Raghubir Nagar or any other government school nearby their residence, to admit Ms. Kulsum and Ms. Yasmin in Classes IX and XI respectively.

Yours sincerely,


Ashok Agarwal, Advocate.
