Delhi High Court, on Friday, stayed its notification fixing four years as the upper age limit for nursery admission in private unaided schools of the national capital.
A bench of Justice Manmohan stayed the AAP government’s decision fixing the upper age limit, saying the parents of the wards did not get enough time to plan the future as the notification
was issued on December 18 last year, just on the eve of start of the admission process.
The High Court’s decision came a day after it stayed another order of the Delhi government scrapping management quota and 11 other criteria regarding nursery admissions.
It asked the Director of Education of Delhi government to ensure that applications of economically weaker section (EWS) children are accepted online.
The bench posted the matter for April 18 for further hearing.
