RTE Act Section 12(1) | Registration of Leave-and-License Agreement Cannot Be Imposed as Condition for Neighbourhood Admission : Bombay HC
The Bombay HC has ruled that demanding registered leave-and-license agreements for school admissions under the RTE Act violates the fundamental right to education under Article 21A. This sets a critical precedent that administrative hurdles tied to residential documentation cannot override statutory and constitutional guarantees for neighbourhood children aged 6-14, especially in tenanted housing.
