Gauhati HC Seeks Govt's Response On Plea For Effective Implementation of Right To Education Act

Live Law  

The Gauhati High Court on Wednesday sought a response from the Assam government in a plea seeking effective implementation of Section 12 of the Right to Education Act, 2009 which reserves at least 25% elementary level school seats for children belonging to weaker sections. The direction was made in a PIL filed by a second-year law student, Debargha Roy, seeking for an appropriate direction to the State to ensure proper compliance with Section 12 of the RTE Act. "The non-implementation of the mandatory reservation provided under Section 12 of the RTE Act is a continuing violation of the fundamental right to free and compulsory education under Article 21A available to the large section of children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged sections in Kamrup district apart from violating the Statutory mandate under the RTE Act and the Rules framed thereunder," the plea said. The Petitioner informed the Court that his endeavour to obtain necessary information about the implementation of the Act thought RTIs was unsatisfactory inasmuch as no information on class-wise break up of students was provided to ascertain whether schools are adhering to requirement of providing 25% admission to the weaker sections/ disadvantaged group of the society.
