The High Court on Monday took exception to interviews being conducted in schools for the admission of children into LKG and came down heavily upon the management of the Air Force School located in Hebbal.

During the hearing of a petition filed alleging irregularities in admission procedures of the school by three-year- old Disha Sagar, represented by her father Manjappa, Justice Ram Mohan Reddy asked the school management to explain the admission criteria for LKG classes.

“The institution run by defence has to be a role model to other institutions. It should uphold the highest standards rather than denying seats to civilians under their quota through interference of Air Force Wives Welfare Association,” Justice Ram Mohan Reddy remarked.

Earlier, counsel representing the petitioner alleged that 10 seats out of 35 seats reserved for civilians were given to others under the recommendation by one of the members of the Association.

The High Court sought to know the rationale behind each and every criterion towards admission to LKG and adjourned the case for further hearing.
