The Supreme Court has criticised the NCPCR’s affidavit on the implementation of the 25% quota for economically weaker students in private schools under Section 12(1)(c) of the RTE Act as unsatisfactory, and has directed the NCPCR’s Chairperson and Director to be physically present at the next hearing.
The Delhi High Court has directed the government to sanction extraordinary leave to a doctor in its service so that he can pursue a Super-Speciality DNB course in cardiology, holding that interdicting his higher education would violate his valuable rights. Justice Jasmeet Singh balanced the employer’s interest in the doctor’s five-year service bond by securing it through an indemnity undertaking and an undated cheque for Rs 61 lakh, rather than denying the leave.
