The apex court had on May 7 asked the DoE of the Delhi government to accommodate 24 students whose parents approached it under the inter-state transfer category and had made it clear that this benefit would be available only to them.
The parents said the children, who were earlier awarded 75 out of 100 points, under neighbourhood and inter-state transfer categories, were successful in getting admission.
However, the DoE on February 27 came out with a fresh notification doing away with five points under the inter-state transfer category.
The Supreme Court, later, set aside the DoE decision, but made clear that only those 24 children, whose parents had approached it, would get admission.
According to DoE guidelines, out of 100 points, children staying within eight kilometres of a school will get 70 points while 20 points will be given to those whose sibling study in the same school.
Five points will be given to those kids whose parents were alumni of the school and the remaining five points will be given under the inter-state transfer category.
The five points under the inter-state transfer category were later scrapped by DoE but the apex court had set aside the decision.
