The Delhi High Court has observed that a child who has not attained the age of 14 years cannot be rusticated under the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973.
Justice Jasmeet Singh directed the Delhi Public School to allow a 13-and-a-half-year-old Economically Weaker Section (EWS) student to resume her Class VIII education.
The Court passed the interim order while dealing with a plea filed by the minor through her mother, challenging the action allegedly taken by the school in question, after she remained absent from school and missed an exam.
