History
Delhi Public School, Mathura Road, founded in 1949 by educationist Reverend James Douglas Tytler was the first Delhi Public School.[7][8] It was followed in 1972 by Delhi Public School, R K Puram, which is widely recognized as the flagship school of the DPSS.
A similarly named Delhi Public School Trust based in Rohini (Delhi) was formed in 2003; when it started offering franchises to open schools under the brand name of DPS, the Delhi High Court in 2008 blocked it from using the DPS name and logo. However, the trust didn't stop, and by 2012, it was still running 27 schools across the India, under the name Delhi Public School. Thus in September, 2012, Justice Kailash Gambhir warned it of contempt of court if the trust did not stop.[9]
In his December 2012, judgment, Justice HR Malhotra observed that "despite being registered in 2003, the Trust claims its foundation for 54 years and had been fraudulently using the logo which is ‘exactly similar’ to DPS Society."[10][11] In its subsequent judgment, Justice V K Jain of Delhi high court on 16 December 2012 barred the 'DPS Trust' from using the name 'DPS' or its registered logo as well as the name Delhi Public School for running a school or education-related services. He also has asked the Trust to pay Rs 10 lakh as damages.[12]
