The present writ petition is directed against the impugned action on the part of the Xavier’s Senior Secondary School, herein after referred as respondent-school, in expelling the petitioner from the school on 17.03.2010 on the ground that she failed in Class VI in the academic year 2009-10.

It is respectfully submitted that the impugned action / inaction on the part of the respondents are totally illegal, anti-child, arbitrary, unjust, punitive in nature, unethical, discriminatory, unconstitutional, violative of the provisions of the Delhi School Education Act, 1973, The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, hit by the provisions of Article 14 (right to equality), Article 21 (right to life with dignity), Article 21-A (right to education) and Article 38 (right to social justice) of the Constitution of India read with UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">2. The petitioner by the present petition has raised the following vital questions of law of general public as well as of private importance for determination by this Hon’ble Court:-</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(i) Whether the impugned action on the part of the respondent-school in expelling 12 yrs old student from the school on the ground that she failed in Class VI is totally illegal, anti-child, arbitrary, unjust, punitive in nature, unethical, discriminatory, unconstitutional, violative of the provisions of The Delhi School Education Act, 1973, The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, hit by the provisions of Article 14 (right to equality), Article 21 (right to life with dignity), Article 21-A (right to education) and Article 38 (right to social justice) of the Constitution of India read with UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989)?</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">3. The facts of the case so far as relevant for the purposes of present writ petition are given in brief as under.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">4. The petitioner submits that she has been a regular student of the respondent-school Class K.G. It is submitted that while the petitioner was studying in class IV, she failed in the examination and detailed in Class IV. Thereafter, she qualified the Class IV examination and promoted to Class V. It is submitted that on 27.03.2010, the Principal handed over the marks-sheet of Class VI to the petitioner’s father with the following remark: “Detained and withdrawn”. It was also told to the parent verbally that the student had been removed from the school from now on. It is submitted that Mr. Naresh Bhati on 27.03.2010 and also on 29.03.2010 requested the Principal of the school to not to remove his daughter as it would ruin the future of the child. He also submitted a written representation to the Principal on 29.03.2010 with a request to permit her child to continue her studies in the school. However, the Principal remained adamant throughout and declined to accept the request of the parent.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> True copies of the marks-sheet and the representation dated 29.03.2010 are enclosed hereto as <strong><u><strong>Annexures A & B</strong></u></strong> respectively.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">5. The petitioner submits that after having failed to persuade the Principal of the school to let the petitioner continue her studies in the said school, the parents and the student approached Social Jurist, A Civil Rights Group with a request to help the child. It is submitted that the Social Jurist sent a phonogram dated 31.03.2010 followed by a representation dated 31.03.2010 requesting the respondent-school to forthwith allow the petitioner to continue her studies in the school. However, no response has been received so far.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">True copies of the phonogram and the representation dated 31.03.2010 are enclosed hereto as <strong><u><strong>Annexures C & D</strong></u></strong> respectively.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">6. The petitioner submits that it is unfortunate that in a time when the Government is coming up with laws, schemes and policies to encourage the girl child to study more, here is a school that is trying to jeopardize a class VI girl’s future by expelling her from the school system. It is highly unjust as well as illegal to expel a student who wishes to study further and make her career.</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">7. The petitioner submits that in terms of the provisions of Rule 37 of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973 and Section 16 of The Right of Children to Free & Compulsory Education Act, 2009, no student admitted in a school shall be held back in any class or expelled from school till the completion of elementary education. </span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">8. The relevant provisions of Rule 37 of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973 are reproduced as under:-</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">“37. <strong><strong>Forms of disciplinary measures.- </strong></strong>(1) The following shall be the disciplinary measures which may be adopted by a school in dealing with:</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> (a) all students-</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> (i) detention during the break, for neglect of class work, but no detention shall be made after the school hours,</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> (ii) corporal punishment</span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> </span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(b)<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 9px"> </span></span></span></span>students who have attained the age of fourteen years-</p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"> </span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(i)<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 9px"> </span></span></span></span>fine,</p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(ii)<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 9px"> </span></span></span></span>expulsion,</p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">(iii)<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 9px"> </span></span></span></span>rustication.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong>(2)</strong></span></span></strong> <strong><em><strong><em>For the avoidance of doubts it is hereby declared that the disciplinary measures specified in clause (b) of sub-rule (1) shall not be imposed on any student who has not attained the age of fourteen years</em></strong></em></strong><em><em>.”</em></em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">9. The relevant provisions of Section 16 of The Right of Children to Free & Compulsory Education Act, 2009 are reproduced as under:</span></span></p><p> </p><p> <strong><em><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><em>“Section 16.

The petitioner submits that the respondent- school has no authority in law to remove her from the school as she has yet not completed 14 years of age or elementary education. In any case, a student can not be removed from the school on the ground that she has failed in a class. It appears that the school has no respect for the law or for the child’s future.

It was also told to the parent verbally that the student had been removed from the school from now on. It is submitted that Mr. Naresh Bhati on 27.03.2010 and also on 29.03.2010 requested the Principal of the school to not to remove his daughter as it would ruin the future of the child. He also submitted a written representation to the Principal on 29.03.2010 with a request to permit her child to continue her studies in the school. However, the Principal remained adamant throughout and declined to accept the request of the parent.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] True copies of the marks-sheet and the representation dated 29.03.2010 are enclosed hereto as [B][U][B]Annexures A & B[/B][/U][/B] respectively.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]5.

The petitioner submits that it is unfortunate that in a time when the Government is coming up with laws, schemes and policies to encourage the girl child to study more, here is a school that is trying to jeopardize a class VI girl’s future by expelling her from the school system.
