HC issues notice to UT over Vivek High School petition

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday put the UT Administration on notice while acting on a petition filed by Vivek High School,Sector 38.

The school has filed the petition challenging the orders of the administration of cancelling the lease of 5.92 acres of the land which was allotted to Bhagwant Singh Charitable Trust that runs the school.

The petitioner apprised the court that the Administration cannot resume the land as it has removed all the violations.
