Allahabad HC Orders UP Government to Submit 5-Year Data on RTE Admissions in Private Schools
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that private schools in Uttar Pradesh affiliated with CBSE, CISCE, or other boards cannot claim exemption from the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009.

The court emphasized that no opinion has been formed on any school's conduct and that institutions will not face prejudice without due process.
