Court notice to school

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI APRIL 23. A Delhi court today issued notices to Mater Dei School and the Director, Education, of the Delhi Government on a suit by the father of a student of the school challenging holding of elections to the Parents-Teachers Association of the institution scheduled for April 25.

The Civil Judge, Deepak Garg, asked the two respondents to file a reply to the suit at 10 a.m. on April 25.

In the suit, the plaintiff, Dev Ashish Bhattacharya, alleged that the school had denied him an opportunity to take part in the proposed election to the Association by indulging in delaying tactics in providing nomination papers to him.

The petitioner alleged that the PTA was being run in an arbitrary manner and its functions had been usurped by several officials of the school.

He further alleged that when he contacted the school authorities and apprised them of various irregularities in the running of the Association, the school tried to coerce him into falling in line.

He urged the court to direct the school authorities to allow him to take part in any election to PTA in future.
