The Delhi High Court asked the Army and the AAP government on Tuesday where did they propose to shift the students studying in a dilapidated 100-year-old school building in the cantonment area here.
A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar directed the Army and the Delhi government to give details of the class-wise vacancies in the nearby schools, where the 326 students of the Rajputana Rifles Heroes Memorial Senior Secondary School could be accommodated.
"We want to see what is the capacity of these schools. Whether there are vacancies there. Where will the children go?
The bench also said the children should have been moved to other schools by now and asked, "What if something were to happen?"
When the additional standing counsel of the Delhi government, Sanjoy Ghose, said the authorities were acting in good conscience to find a better solution to the problem, the court said, "Is good conscience an argument when the building is in a dilapidated state and if something were to happen?"
