Delhi High Court Restores CBSE Affiliation for Khemo Devi Public School's Secondary Level

The Delhi High Court has restored the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliation of the secondary level of a private school in the national capital, holding that the disaffiliation order passed by the board would not only affect the school but also the students, “who are equal stakeholders.” Justice Vikas Mahajan, while restoring Khemo Devi Public School’s secondary level affiliation, said, “It needs no emphasis that the order of disaffiliation not only affects the school but also the students who are equal stakeholders.” The school had initially challenged theCBSE’s disaffiliation order for both secondary and senior secondary levels, but later confined its challenge only to the secondary level during the course of proceedings.
