POOR MOTHER MOVES DELHI HC AGAINST R.D. PUBLIC SCHOOL AS SCHOOL DENIES TC TO STUDENTS

Smt. Reena Choudhary, mother of Master Vijul Choudhary and Master Jatin Choudhary has today filed writ petition through Adv Ashok Agarwal in the Delhi HC seeking directions against R.D. Public School, Krishan Vihar to forthwith issue Transfer Certificates to her two sons. The petition is likely to come up for hearing next week.

The two boys had been studying in R.D. Public School for the past several years, but their parents wished to withdraw them from the school since they were no longer being able to afford the high fees of the private school.

The mother wrote to the school in April 2014 expressing her inability to pay hefty school fee and requested for issuance of Transfer Certificates. The school authorities however delayed handing over the Transfer Certificates and asked the mother to collect the same in July. When the mother went to the school in July seeking the Transfer Certificates, the school authorities demanded that she first pay the school fees for both her sons for the months of April-June, even though her sons had not attended a single day of school during these months.  Because of this, the two boys are unable to get admission in any Government school and are sitting idle at home and their studies are being irreparably damaged. R D Public happens to be run by a MLA.

The petition says, “The action on the part of the school in not granting the Transfer Certificates to the petitioner’s sons despite several requests is arbitrary, discriminatory, unjust, unethical, against the best interest of the students and contrary to the provisions of Delhi School Education Act, 1973.”
