The Delhi High Court Monday directed forthwith shifting of the students studying in a dilapidated 100-year-old school building in the cantonment area here and asked the Army and the AAP government to immediately accommodate them in their schools.

A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice C Hari Shankar observed that there was an emergent situation of shifting the students as the building of Rajputana Rifles Heroes Memorial Senior Secondary School here was in a dilapidated condition.

The 300 students will be temporarily shifted to two schools -- one maintained by Delhi Cantonment Board and another by the Delhi government, it said.

 

"In view of willingness showed by the respondents (Army and Delhi government), we hereby direct them to immediately accommodate Rajputana Rifles Heroes Memorial Senior Secondary School students to the schools of the respondents because the building is in dilapidated condition," the court said.

It also asked the authorities to provide transportation to the students to and fro from the schools for six months.
