New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Wednesday issued notice to the state government on a
plea seeking directions to ensure conducive atmosphere for girls'
admission to a 350-year-old school in central Delhi.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice
R.S. Endlaw sought responses by July 18 from the government, the
director of education, the Delhi Police and the management of the
government-aided Anglo Arabic Senior Secondary School in Ajmeri
Gate which was open only to boys till March.
The bench told counsel appearing for the government: "You have to
take some measures as the atmosphere does not permit the girls to
take admission in the school."
The court's direction came on a petition filed by Fatima Alvi who
alleged that the school management March 26 resolved to admit
girls from the current academic year but due to the allegedly
non-conducive atmosphere not a single girl had taken admission.
Alvi alleged that the admission committee of the school was
discouraging parents of girls from joining the institution.
She sought the court's direction to the school management to take
action against the members of admission committee and said: "A
fear psychosis has been created in the entire campus...."
Submitting that the school was a minority institution, the
petition said the court should direct the management to reserve
some seats for girls.
