To,
All parents of
The Pinnacle School.
Dear Parents,
Due to alleged complaints and misrepresentation by one of our ex-teacher
namely Mrs. Bindu Khanna who was suspended in April 2010 and
subsequently terminated from the school on account of misbehaviour,
misconduct and anti-school activities, the Director of Education, GNCT of
Delhi had purportedly withdrawn the recognition of the schpol with effect
from 01 -04-2014 vide an impugned Order dated 02-01-2014. The school
challenged the purported order of the Director of Education by filing a Writ
Petition No. 506 of 2014 in the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi and the Hon'ble
Judge Mr. Manmohan had admitted the writ and after hearing the case, he
has granted status-quo with regard to the school vide Order dated
22-01-2014. The functioning of the school shall continue as earlier. This is
for your kind information Please.
We sincerely thank all parents for their kind support and co-operation, We
further assure you that the Management will take all necessary legal steps
to protect the smooth functioning of the school.
With warm regards,
