The Bombay High Court upheld the rejection of a student's RTE admission application, ruling that proof of residence is a mandatory eligibility condition. The court found the petitioner failed to establish residential eligibility and said relaxing the requirement could deprive another deserving child of admission.
Mumbai, June 26: The Bombay High Court has upheld the rejection of a minor student's admission under the Right to Education (RTE) quota, observing that proof of residence is an essential eligibility condition and cannot be relaxed without satisfactory evidence.
The court said overlooking the requirement could result in another genuinely eligible child losing an opportunity for admission under the neighbourhood quota.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad dismissed the petition filed by the minor through his father challenging the rejection of his application for admission for the academic year 2026–27.
