Delhi High Court Upholds Cash Assistance Policy for EWS Students' Uniforms
The Delhi High Court upheld the Delhi government's policy to provide cash assistance to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and disadvantaged students for purchasing school uniforms in private schools. The court dismissed a review petition by NGO Justice For All, which argued for direct uniform provision under the Right to Education Act. The court found the government's decision, citing operational challenges in uniform distribution, was not arbitrary or capricious and warranted judicial restraint.
