MUMBAI: The BMC on Saturday told the Bombay high court that Dadar’s Balmohan Vidyamandir was wrong in disputing Google map while rejecting admission to three children from Dharavi under the Right to Education Act.The school boasts of celebrity students who are actors and sportspersons. The court heard petitions including those of the three children who were rejected by Balmohan’s English medium on the ground that they do not stay within walking distance of 3 kms from the school.BMC’s affidavit by the education officer said under the online process aerial distance and location has to be selected. While the applicants submitted Google map location as per their address, the school interpreted it as “walkable distance with neighbourhood.” It said that a showcause notice for derecognition of the school was issued and is awaiting instructions from the deputy director of education (Pune) to take action against it.Senior advocate Anil Sakhare, representing BMC, told a bench of Justice B R Gavai and Justice Riyaz Chagla: “Balmohan is not correct in going into criteria of distance when there is Google map. It cannot say no (to granting admission),” said Sakhare.Balmohan’s advocate said it is not just the distance but there was mismatch in documents submitted. Petitioner’s advocate Chetan Mali said income certificates sent to the revenue department returned verified yet admission was denied. Sakhare said temporary admission has to be given subject to verification.Sakhare said BMC runs more than 1,100 schools in Mumbai and admission is not stopped because of capacity. “For Marathi medium applications is nil. People prefer English medium,’’ he said. The judges said their anxiety is that children should get admission. “We personally know how hard it is to get admissions,” said Justice Gavai.Sakhare said the issues can be resolved by meeting the education officer. He said BMC has a three-tier redressal system with education officer, deputy municipal commissioner (Education) and the municipal commissioner. The judges said Sakhare’s suggestion is “fair” and directed the parents and school’s representatives to meet the EO on Monday and try to sign consent terms.
