Srinagar: The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Srinagar on Friday directed the management of Presentation Convent Higher Secondary School Srinagar to consider admission to a Srinagar girl who has been allegedly denied the same by the school despite fulfilling the requisite criteria.
The girl, Zainab Riyaz, daughter of Dr Riyaz Ahmad Daga, resident of Srinagar’s Qamarwari area, had sought admission at Presentation Convent Rajbagh in Class LKG for the upcoming academic session 2021-22. The application form was accepted by the school under registration number 2578, as per her parents.
However, to her parents’ utter shock, Zainab was denied admission by the school management. This despite her fulfilling all the requisite criteria laid down by the school, her father alleged in a suit filed in the court of Principal District Judge Srinagar, who later forwarded it to the court of CJM Srinagar on Thursday.
