What we handle

Departmental Action & Writs

Show-cause notices, inspection reports, takeover proceedings, and writ petitions against orders of the education authorities.

What we do

Typical matters

  • Show-cause notices from the Directorate of Education
  • Inspection reports and the reply to them
  • Takeover of management and appointment of an administrator
  • Stop-admission and de-recognition orders
  • Writ petitions in the Delhi High Court
  • Contempt proceedings where an order is not complied with

Departmental action moves quickly and the timelines are short. The reply to a show-cause notice is the document the entire matter is later argued on, and it should be settled by counsel rather than sent under the manager's signature alone.

Where an order has already been passed, the question is usually one of interim relief: what can be stayed, on what condition, and in time for the institution to continue operating through the academic year.
