New Delhi: The
Supreme Court will Thursday pronounce its verdict on a batch of
petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the right to
education law that requires private schools to earmark 25 percent
seats for poor students.
The judgment, reserved Aug 3, 2011 after a prolonged hearing,
would be pronounced by a bench of Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia,
Justice K.S.P. Radhakrishnan and Justice Swatanter Kumar.
There will be two judgments one by the Chief Justice Kapadia and
other by Justice Radhakrishnan.
A batch of petitions by Society for Unaided Private Schools,
Independent Schools Federation of India and others had contested
the provision in the law under which they had to reserve 25
percent seats for economically weaker sections in their schools.
The schools contended that the reservation of 25 percent seats for
the children from vulnerable sections of society violated their
right to run educational institution without the state's
interference.
The schools' contention that the reservation for poor students
would drain their resources was contested by the government
promised to reimburse the money spend by them of these students.
