KOLKATA: The Association of La Martiniere Alumni (ALMA) has moved Calcutta high court against naming a new school La Martiniere Oxford Mission School in Behala and role of the Board of Governors in overstepping their legal mandate.
In a statement by Vishal Jhajharia for the ALMA Executive Committee, it was said that opening a new school was in violation of the Calcutta high court order which asked the BoG to not take any major decision beyond day-to-day running of the school.
“It is also amply clear that by using the name La Martiniere, these persons are trying to misuse the public faith, trust and reputation that is associated with the name La Martiniere,” the statement read.
The statement also said, “In order to protect the interest and goodwill of our school, ALMA has filed a contempt petition against those responsible for this decision, which is likely to be taken up soon. ALMA has full confidence in the judiciary.”
