The court is hearing an appeal filed by those parents who had come to Delhi from other places in the country and had sought admission under the IST category which was deleted during the admission process by the Delhi government owing to its abuse on a large scale.
Challenging the HC order, the parents had submitted that as a result of the Delhi government's February 27 decision, they had to vacate the seats alloted to them after they were successful in draw of lots held as per earlier guidelines for admission.
Earlier, those in IST category also had 75 points. As per the earlier point system for nursery admissions, out of a total 100 points, 70 were given if the child was living in the neighbourhood of the school, additional 20 were given if a sibling was studying there, five points more if either parent was an alumni and another five if it was an IST case.
