Section 12(1)(c) RTE Act | No Territorial Limit for EWS Admissions : Bombay HC Strikes Down 1-Km Rule
Bombay HC rules that imposing a 1-km territorial cap for 25% EWS admissions under the RTE Act violates constitutional rights and the statute's unconditional mandate. The judgment reinforces that private unaided schools must admit disadvantaged students regardless of proximity, impacting thousands of EWS applicants statewide.
