A plea has been filed in the Delhi High Court, calling for an investigation into the appointment of 35 newly-recruited principals in Delhi government schools. The plea alleges that these appointments were made based on forged and fabricated documents. The public interest litigation claims that the candidates misrepresented themselves, were selected illegally, and that the Department of Education in Delhi government failed to properly scrutinize their submitted documents, resulting in erroneous selections.
During the hearing, the petitioner`s counsel, Navendu Charitable Trust, requested time to involve individuals accused of wrongdoing. Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula granted the request and scheduled further proceedings for October 18. The Delhi government was represented by Santosh Kumar Tripathi and Arun Panwar.
