It has also contended that even the Income Tax department relied upon the report while assessing its taxable income.
SIS also said that Prasar Bharati withheld dues payable to the company for services rendered by relying on the panel's report.
The single judge bench had asked the Delhi government to conduct a fresh draw of lots among similarly placed kids who had secured 70 points on the basis of neighbourhood criteria.
The present dispute started after the Lt Governor had on February 27 issued an order abolishing 5 points, out of 100, being awarded to inter-state transfer cases.
Maximum 70 points are being awarded to kids who live within eight kilometres of a school.
The LG's order further said, “If a school has conducted draw of lots for those applicants securing 70 points, that draw shall remain valid for the selected/confirmed candidates only.
“Fresh draw of lots shall be held for remaining applicants having 70 points, including wait-listed applicants and those applicants who were earlier securing 75 points because of ‘inter-state transfer case' category,” the LG said.
The single judge found fault with the order and said, “However, this court is of the view that all equals have to be treated alike and all children who have secured equal points should participate in a single draw of lots.”
