Supreme Court today, as an interim measure, directed the Sanskriti School in New Delhi to admit wards of all central government employees with transferrable jobs for the upcoming academic year within the 60 per cent quota. Asking the prestigious school not to restrict the quota only to children of the top-most bureaucrats, a three-judge bench in an interim order, stayed implementation of a Delhi High Court's order quashing the quota. The bench, clarified that, at present it was not taking into consideration, the notification issued by Delhi government quashing the management quota in all schools in the national capital<br/><br/>The apex court admitted the appeals filed by Sanskriti School and the Centre against the Delhi High Court judgement. The bench also took note of the submission that Sanskriti School and the Centre should clearly come out with a scheme to categorise seats when the appeals would be taken up for hearing on April 6.<br/><br/>Earlier, the Government had told the apex court that wards of government employees, other than group-A central government officials, can also be provided admission in Sanskriti School in New Delhi under 60 per cent quota, earlier meant only for kids of group-A officials . In New Delhi's Sanskriti School, 60 per cent seats in the school are reserved for children of Group-A officers, 25 per cent for those from economically weaker sections, 10 per cent for wards of rest of the society and 5 per cent for its own staff.
