Stay on nursery admissions continues; challenge to sibling, alumni category withdrawn

The petition was withdrawn in view of the data submitted by Delhi government which said that as per information received from 723 schools around 60 per cent of the general category seats in these institutes were given to 70 pointers.

The government said this data can be “safely treated as a pattern” for all schools.

There are over 1500 schools in Delhi where draws for nursery admissions were held.

The court had on March 12 stayed the fresh draw of lots ordered by its single-judge bench and said no admission shall take place till the next date of hearing.  

The interim order will continue till April 2, the court said.
