Summary:
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Wednesday sought response of Delhi government on a 'unique' plea by a land's owners who are willing to transfer their ownership of the land to the State to build a school on it. Justice Prathiba M Singh said since the petitioners have come up with a unique prayer where they wish to give their right in a private land to the government, the authorities shall consider the plea expeditiously. The plea said as the land is lying vacant, it is being misused by anti-social elements of the area and the petitioners want to transfer ownership of the land unconditionally to the government to build a multi-storey senior secondary school there. There is an urgent need for a government school in the area as it is densely populated. A number of students want to shift from private schools to government schools as the parents particularly during pandemic are unable to pay children school fees, it said..
