Delhi HC seeks Centre's reply on plea against Shunglu panel report

The single judge had directed that candidates having equal marks be considered equally by conducting a fresh draw of lots, wherever necessary.

An appeal was filed by guardians of 14 kids alleging they were already declared selected for nursery admission after the draw of lots and will have to undergo the same process again in pursuance of the single judge bench order on the issue.

It had sought setting aside of the order.

The plea said the single judge had “grossly erred” in passing the order “completely ignoring that a large number of draws have already been held and wards of people like the present appellants have been selected for admission.”

It also said the fact that any interim order, at this stage, would cause inconvenience and mental agony to the parents of successful kids was “overlooked”.
