The Delhi High Court today dismissed the plea of private schools bodies seeking stay on city government's nursery admission guidelines that included scrapping of 20 per cent management quota. A bench, comprising Chief Justice NV Ramana and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, said that the appellants have not shown any immediate injury due to the guidelines.

The bench cautioned the media against running unverified reports pertaining to its judgement on the issue.

The court also made it clear that its observations have no bearing on the final outcome of the petition pending before a single judge bench.

The private school bodies had moved the larger bench of the High Court against the order of its single judge, who had refused to grant them interim relief or stay the notification. The plea was filed challenging the nursery admission guidelines issued by the Lieutenant Governor, which included weightage to neighbourhood kids and abolition of 20 per cent management quota. It had sought setting aside of the 2014-15 guidelines on the ground that the Lieutenant Governor's office lacked the power to frame them. The Central government, the Directorate of Education and the office of LG were made party in the plea.
