New Delhi:
The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Rajkiya Pratibha
Vikas Vidyalaya (RPVV) and the Delhi government on a petition by a
school student who was not promoted to Class 11 despite clearing
his class 10 exam with 72 percent marks.
Justice Kailash Gambhir earlier this week asked the respondents to
reply by July 13.
The court was hearing the petition of Vinod Thapa, who was denied
admission to the commerce stream for 2011-12 in RPVV, Lajpat Nagar
in south Delhi.
Thapa's counsel Ashok Agarwal said that since the student passed
his Class 10 examination from the school, he was entitled to be
promoted to the next class.
"But he, along with 16 other students, were denied such promotion
and told to leave the Vidyalaya and go to some other government
school," the petition said.
