Srinagar: The High Court Saturday issued a notification to the Chief Secretary and Commissioner Secretary Education to file a compliance report as to why despite the directions 25 percent seats have not been reserved for the students from weaker sections.
The division bench of the HC, apart from Chief Secretary and Commissioner Secretary Education, directed the private and missionary schools, to submit the “implementation report” of reserving 25 percent seats for economically poor sections of the societywithin four weeks.
According to KNS, the HC asked the Chief Secretary and Commissioner Secretary Education to explain why the 25 percent seats have not been reserved for the poor class especially in the four missionary schools-Biscoe, Mallinson, Burn Hall and Presentation Convent.
Talking to KNS, Advocate Faisal Qadri said the petition was filed in May 2015 about reserving 25 percent seats for economically poor sections.
“The HC had directed the private schools especially the top four missionary schools in the city, but these schools didn’t do which in turn amounts to contempt of the court orders,” he said.
He said the HC has asked the Chief Secretary to file the Compliance report within four weeks. (KNS)
