Bombay High Court Stays Rejection of SC Student's RTE Admission Over Residence Documents
The Bombay High Court granted relief to a six-year-old Scheduled Caste student whose admission to Class 1 under the Right to Education (RTE) quota was initially rejected due to a non-registered leave-and-license agreement. The court stayed the rejection and directed authorities to process the application, noting education as a fundamental right. The family, residing in Airoli for 12 years, submitted additional proof of residence, and the court requested the state government to respond within four weeks.
