Grant-in-Aid to Schools | Discretionary State Funding Cannot Be Claimed Retrospectively Even Upon Meeting Revised Eligibility : Bombay HC
Private schools cannot demand retroactive grant-in-aid payments merely because they later qualified under updated state policy. The Bombay High Court affirmed that such funding is a policy choice, not a legal entitlement, safeguarding state fiscal autonomy and preventing unpredictable liabilities in public education financing.
