New Delhi Municipal Council vs Manju Tomar

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee's (DSGMC) decision to shift Khalsa Boys Primary School, which was receiving 95% grant from the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), to a new location outside NDMC's jurisdiction. The Court held that the NDMC was justified in withdrawing the grant-in-aid under Rule 69 of the Delhi Education Rules, 1973, as the school’s relocation violated jurisdictional provisions. The Court affirmed the High Court's directive for NDMC to consider the implications of the school's closure due to the shift, thereby upholding the principle that educational institutions must operate within the legal framework of their governing bodies.
