An eight-member panel headed by the District Magistrate submitted a report which stated several indiscriminatory pratice by the school.
The High Court perused the report and said that the report has indicated an alarming state of affairs in school.
The parents have alleged that their children were tortured by the school over non payment of fee.

During the hearing, the Delhi Government's standing counsel said that a show cause notice was issued to the school on April 8.
