In Social Jurist case directions were given today for
notices to schools providing less than 10% free seats,
meeting convened by Chief Secy presided by CM to agree
a solution for the current year and re shifting
petitions to DB and in LPA filed by GNCTD against the
stay on its directive, etc. (Reference to my
intervention and DB order of 27/10/04 was also made in
the order).
Notices are to be issued to schools on basis of 3
defaulter-lists filed by GNCTD. Counsel for schools /
Action Committee mentioned stay granted to DPS, which
it would cite in reply to show cause notice. I
recalled later that the stay had been extended to all
schools on 15 April.
http://mail.architexturez.net/pipermail/mpisgmedia/2005-April/000312.html
Curiously no one else mentioned that.
Meeting with CM was suggested, before lunch, by Action
Committee counsel wrt DPS (afternoon school) proposal.
GNCTD and DDA counsel suggested meeting with
officials. Ashok Agarwal suggested court direction. I
submitted that any meeting needed to be at level of LG
as administrator of both Acts and that this had
already come up before J Gita Mittal who had also
impleaded Central Govt.
http://mail.architexturez.net/pipermail/mpisgmedia/2005-May/000339.html
That was the point at which the court rose for lunch.
During lunch counsel were to identify in GNCTD
defaulter-list schools that had filed writ petitions.
I asked if I could see a copy, but counsel were
preoccupied. After lunch, however, counsel for schools
raised the point about order for 25%, directive for
20% and leases with variable %. Agarwal said % was 20
in terms of DB order (for 25%). GNCTD and DDA counsel
then suggested directions against worst default and
Action Committee counsel agreed that would send a
message. First 5% was suggested, but it was noticed
that last-in had 4.98%. Then 10% was suggested. Being
opposed to cut-offs I stood up a few times, but
reminded myself I was in court, all were agreeing and
my case in any case is against any %. Afterwards, I
mentioned DDA-issued notices requiring action by
subsequent DB order, was asked to show order and did
(also read relevant part). Lordship said to others it
was different matter but, after having said all they
had just said about defaulters, all counsel mildly
said let-her-be. And the order began to be dictated,
starting with something about DB order of 27/10/04 in
MPISG PIL.
Public Notice re notices to schools will appear in the
press soon. Meeting presided by CM has to happen in 10
days. The matter is next listed for 28/09/04.
There were two light-hearted exchanges. When details
of notice were being decided, Action Committee counsel
said electronic media would help inform, like every
time at instance of the Petitioner. When another
counsel for schools was pressing for inclusion in
meeting (court was inclined that all schools represent
themselves through Action Committee, but accommodated
request of the other counsel and also of Ashok
Agarwal), a remark was made about closeness of both
requesting counsel to CM. Action Committee counsel
asked for withdrawal of its and maybe its members writ
petitions from the single judge bench, which the Court
was otherwise intending to see about at next hearing.
(Those matters were last heard on 18/08/05, and listed
for 27/09/05).
