The Chandigarh HC will on 31 October hear the plea filed by the school going children of village Balu (Kaithal) for early hearing of their petition demanding ‘safety from dilapidated building and immediate arrangements of teaching staff’.

The Students of Govt. School in Kaithal’s Balu village had approached the HC through Advocate Pardeep Rapria; stating that most of the posts for teachers are lying vacant in their School and their life is in danger from the dilapidated condition of building. On 11 October after hearing the plea of Mr. Rapria J. Rakesh Jain of HC while issuing notice to the Haryana Govt. had passed the order that, ‘The respondents shall also disclose in their reply, by way of an affidavit of the Secretary, Department of Education, Government of Haryana, as to how many vacancies are there in all the Government Schools of the State of Haryana and in how many schools, facilitates of drinking water and toilet are still not provided.’ Keeping in view the urgency of the matter the HC had posted the matter for hearing on 23.10.2017. However, later on, the matter was adjourned to 30 January, 2018.

Now, by filing separate application through their Advocate Pardeep Rapria the students have sought the early hearing of their petition taking plea that,  ‘keeping in view the sensitivity and urgency of the matter the long adjournment for 30.01.2018 may eclipse the Fundamental Rights and other rights of the numerous school-going children and defeat the object of filing the petition.’ The plea is listed for hearing before a bench of Justice Rakesh Jain.
