Bombay High Court Urges Maharashtra to Reform Education Reimbursements and Refund Fees
The Bombay High Court has highlighted administrative issues in Maharashtra's education sector, urging reforms in two cases. It directed the state to improve timelines and monitoring for reimbursing unaided schools under the Right to Education Act, noting 133 related petitions this year. Separately, the court ordered fee refunds to four medical students denied benefits under a 2019 one-time reimbursement scheme linked to new education quotas, criticizing the state's inconsistent implementation. Both rulings emphasize the need for clearer policies and timely compliance.
