The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to respond to Tamil Nadu’s plea challenging a Madras High Court order directing the State to reimburse private schools Rs 314.98 crore for EWS quota admissions. The State argues that the Union has not released its share of RTE funds since 2021.
The Madras High Court ordered the Tamil Nadu government to take action against cinemas charging above fixed ticket rates, emphasizing enforcement amid rising OTT popularity. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh noted the importance of fair pricing and suggested theatres reconsider their business strategies to remain viable as more viewers opt for home entertainment.
The Supreme Court of India declined to urgently hear Tamil Nadu’s petition against the Union government for withholding Rs.2,151.59 crore in educational funds. The state alleges the Centre is improperly linking fund release to compliance with the NEP 2020, which it opposes, highlighting the urgent need for funding to ensure educational quality.
