Summary:
Restoring the minor’s admission, the court observed that the “psychological trauma” of being removed from school will be “irreparable and long-lasting”. Narayan had argued that the minor’s father had put down his annual income as Rs 67,000 by allegedly forging income documents. AdvertisingThe businessman had posed as a slum dweller of Sanjay Camp — akin to the movie ‘Hindi Medium’ — to secure the admission. The Delhi High Court came to the rescue of an eight-year-old boy, whose admission was cancelled last year after his businessman father forged documents to get him into Chanakyapuri’s Sanskriti School under the EWS quota in 2013-14. When the documents were found to be fake, his admission was cancelled by the Directorate of Education (DoE)..
