NEW DELHI, NOV. 9. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has directed Shri Ram School at Vasant Vihar in South Delhi to re-admit to Class V a 10-year-old girl whom the school authorities had shifted to its learning centre and later struck her name off the rolls last month. Ashok Aggarwal, counsel for Komal Arora, the mother of the girl, Surabhi Arora, today informed Justice C.K. Mahajan of the Delhi High Court that the Director, Education, of the civic body had directed the school authorities to re-admit Surabhi Arora to Class V to allow her to complete her education in the current session. He said that the local body had issued the directive to the school on a report submitted by a team of officers of the local body after conducting an inquiry into the circumstances leading to the expulsion of the student. The Director had also advised the parents of the student to admit her to a special school in the next academic session, Mr. Aggarwal informed the Court. Following the submission by Mr. Aggarwal, Justice Mahajan disposed of the petition filed by Komal Arora on behalf of Surabhi Arora. Taking note of the petition, Justice Mahajan had on October 28 issued notices to the local body and the school seeking replies to the allegation by Komal Arora that her daughter had been shifted to the learning centre of the school on the wrong perception that she was a slow learner. Ms. Arora had also alleged that the action on the part of the school authorities was illegal and void, as her daughter had been clinically certified as a normal student with average intelligence by established child psychologists.
