After considering the case, Justice Pushkarna rejected the school’s objection and directed it to grant admission to the petitioners in Class I under the EWS category.
The Court clarified that the order is being passed keeping in view the fact that the children belonging to the weaker sections of the society are to be given equal opportunities for education in good schools, so that such students are able to come in the mainstream of the society.
“However, it is directed that the DOE shall make endeavour, as far as possible, to allot schools which are nearest to the residence of the students in question,” the Court added.
