https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=180193 Article 21A was treated as enabling Parliament to prescribe the manner of discharge of the State's duty to provide free and compulsory elementary education, and Section 12(1)(c) was upheld as a valid regulatory condition for unaided non-minority schools. The Act was held inapplicable to unaided minority schools because compulsory admission of 25% of seats would impair their minority character under Article 30(1). Aided minority schools were treated differently, as State aid places them within a regulated sphere permitting limited application of the admission requirement. The remaining provisions on neighbourhood schools, recognition, admissions and regulatory machinery were substantially upheld, with limited reading down and exclusions for protected categories. en-us Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 12:02:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=180193 Article 21A was treated as enabling Parliament to prescribe the manner of discharge of the State's duty to provide free and compulsory elementary education, and Section 12(1)(c) was upheld as a valid regulatory condition for unaided non-minority schools.
