Besides issuing notice to the Delhi government's Directorate of Education, a bench of Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw also sought replies of the city police and the school management by July 18.
"You have to take some measures as the atmosphere does not permit the girls to take admission in the school," the court told Delhi government's Standing Counsel (Civil) Najmi Waziri, while issuing notices on a plea by city resident Fatima Alvi.
In her plea, Alvi said the historical school, located at Ajmeri Gate is a government-aided one and its management had passed a resolution on March 26 this year to give admissions to girls from the academic year 2012-2013 but due to non-conducive atmosphere, not a single girl has been admitted.
Alvi said Anglo Arabic School (AAS) is a minority school and one of the few schools which has produced several eminent personalities including Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the founder of Aligarh Muslim University.
She alleged though the school management passed resolution for girls' admission to school, its admission committee has been discouraging girls' parents from admitting their daughters in the school.
"A fear psychosis has been created in the entire campus," the petitioner said, seeking the court's direction to the school management to take disciplinary action against the members of admission committee. (More)
