HC notice to UP govt on alleged discrimination against Dalits at school
Allahabad, July 11 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court has sought a reply
from Uttar Pradesh government on a petition which alleged Dalit
children, belonging to the Musahar caste, were facing discrimination
at a primary school in Varanasi.
Passing the order on the petition of Luv Saggi and others, a division
bench comprising Chief Justice F I Rebello and Justice Prakash Krishna
also directed the district magistrate of Varanasi to inquire into the
allegations and submit a report.
The petition alleged that at the Pindra primary school in Varansi,
Musahars were not allowed to sit along side students from other castes
during classes nor were they allowed to partake of the mid-day meal
along with others.
The petitioners also alleged many Musahar children had to leave the
school on account of the "discriminatory" treatment.
The matter has been posted for further hearing on July 27.
