Delhi High Court Restores CBSE Affiliation for Secondary Classes
The Delhi High Court has decided to let a private school in Delhi, called Khemo Devi Public School, keep its connection with the CBSE for classes up to 10th grade.
The CBSE had earlier said the school couldn't be part of it because it didn't meet some rules.
But the court said that taking away this connection would hurt the students too, so it let the school keep it.
The court also told the CBSE to check the school again after some time to make sure everything is okay.
The school had some problems like not having enough good teachers and some students who weren't really attending school.
But the school said they were fixing these problems, and the court believed them.
The Delhi High Court restored CBSE affiliation for secondary level classes at Khemo Devi Public School.
The court noted that disaffiliation would affect both the school and its students, who are equal stakeholders.
The CBSE had pointed out deficiencies in the school's academic ambience and teacher availability during a surprise inspection.
The court directed the CBSE to re-inspect the school after six weeks and give it one month to fix any remaining issues.
The school had initially challenged the disaffiliation for both secondary and senior secondary levels but later confined its challenge to only the secondary level.
