NEW DELHI:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0The Delhi High Court today directed the AAP government to ensure that a 12-year-old Afghan refugee girl, who has been allegedly asked by her school not to attend classes since she does not have an Aadhaar card, be allowed to study.<\/span>

“We do not want a child to lose a year,” a bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Anu Malhothra said.<\/span>

“Find it out. Please sort it out and tell us what you have (Delhi government) done. Then we will pass our order,” the bench said.<\/span>

The court issued the direction to the state government after advocate Ashok Aggrawal apprised the court about a newsapaper report on the alleged expulsion of a sixth class Afghan refugee girl Hadya, who was studying in a government school in Tilak Nagar area of West Delhi.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The school is wrong in this case. This is a violation of the fundamental right to education which is available to every person, foreigner or refugee. A school cannot ask this student to leave on the ground that the student does not have an Aadhaar card,” the advocate told the court.<\/span>

It is being alleged that the Principal told Hadya’s father that she cannot attend school if she does not possess an Aadhaar card, the counsel said.<\/span><\/p>\n
