ORDER

                  A complaint dated 27.07.2015 of Ms. Neetu Kapoor was received through email dated 31.07.2015 of Ms. Suvarna Raj, a social worker. The complainant submitted that her 12 year old son Krrish Kapoor has 75% vision impairment and she wants to enroll him to St. Xavier’ School. She tried her best but the school authorities refused admission saying that there was no vacancy.  She also stated that reservation of  3% seats for persons with disabilities as per the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995 was not being provided. 

2.               The complaint was taken up with the respondent vide communication dated 07.08.2015 followed by reminders and a hearing on 26.11.2015. However, neither the complainant nor the respondent appeared.

3.               On perusal of the record in the case file, it is seen that Special Director(Education), HQ had been asking the Dy. Director(Education), District North to take appropriate action as the matter pertains to them.  However, no response was ever received.

4.               As the case is pending for more than two years and there was no correspondence whatsoever either from complainant or from Ms. Suvarna Raj who forwarded the complaint, the complainant was contacted on her given number (9136265433) which  is not recognized. Ms. Suvarna Raj was also contacted and was advised to intimate the status if any known to her or advise the complainant to get in touch with this Court. However, despite lapse of sufficient time neither of them has reverted.  In view of this, the complaint is closed.

4.         Given under my hand and the seal of the Court this 07^th   day of December, 2017.
