Provisional ST Certificate for Sainik School Admission | Interim Relief Mandated Despite Pending Appeal: Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that authorities must issue a provisional Scheduled Tribe certificate to a minor seeking Sainik School admission, even if the certificate's validity is under appeal, as the right to education cannot be delayed by procedural stays. This sets a critical precedent for equitable access to competitive educational opportunities for marginalized communities pending final adjudication, with repayment of differential fees conditional on appeal success.
