The move comes after protests that the transfer clause was being misused. The government will release a new admission schedule and rework the point allocation system on Thursday. As the points allotted to a child will now change, a fresh draw of lots will be held in each school.
The LG's submission came before the court which was hearing a plea against the transfer clause.
Under the existing system, out of a total 100 points, 70 are given to children living in the neighbourhood of the school, 20 if the applicant's sibling studies in the same school and five points each if either parent is an alumnus and if it is an inter-state transfer case. Only those having 75 out of 100 points are considered for the draw of lots while those having 90 points are automatically admitted.
The government's submission was made during the hearing on a plea by Sudhanshu Jain challenging the system of giving five points to children whose parents had been transferred to the national capital from another state. The petition, filed through advocates Prashant Mehta and Himanshu Kapoor, was disposed of by the court which said it be treated as a representation before Delhi government which has to expeditiously deal with it.
A similar plea was also being heard by a bench headed by acting Chief Justice B D Ahmed, which had sought a report from Delhi government on the rationale behind awarding five points to transfer cases.
During the hearing, the counsel appearing for Delhi government, being run by the LG after imposition of President's rule, said that by Wednesday evening they will take the decision to do away with the five points and come out with a new admission schedule the next day.
Jain in his petition alleged that "most schools in the city have more applications at 75+ points than the total number of general seats. This effectively means that children, who do not have a sibling or whose parents are not alumni or who did not get transferred to Delhi recently, have no chance of getting into schools this year..."
"Children of parents not having studied in a particular school in the neighbourhood, for having lived in some other place when they were born and sent to school by their parents are left remedy-less and the possibility of gaining an admission into a school of their choice in their neighbourhood is reduced to negligible," the petition said.
It also contended that there was a sudden increase in applicants claiming to be transfer cases following the decision to award five points for such cases.
