Delhi high court upholds government takeoverTNN | Nov 30, 2012, 01.40 AM ISTNEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has upheld the Delhi government's decision to take over the management of a private, state-aided school for its alleged irregularities and malpractices in administration and the rift within it.A bench of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw dismissed the plea of New Rajinder Nagar-based Vidya Bhawan Girls Senior Secondary School against LG's September 7, order for taking over the school management for next two years. The bench rejected the school's arguments that no inspection was carried by the education department before passing the order to take over its management.It was also argued that following the department's July 2010 showcause notice, it gave explanations over the allegations of irregularities and malpractices against the school management but no opportunity was given to it over the subsequent allegation of factions in the management. The court, however said, "We are of the view that the impugned order does not suffer on the ground that non-speaking order of the petitioner (school) was issued with the said order without any opportunity to explain the subsequent events or for that matter, the inspection was not carried on before the impugned order was passed under Section 20 of the Act..."The division bench that upheld the government's move also referred to the HC's order of April asking the government to take over the management immediately after some employees had approached the court.
