Implementation
of RTE Act
Panchkula, April 30 Civil Judge Panchkula Renu Rana while pronouncing orders of dismissal of application said the petitioners were espousing a larger public cause and were entitled to seek court intervention for implementation of the RTE provisions under Section 91 of the CPC, even though they had no personal grievance in the matter. In his application, the DC had stated that a PIL could only be made in the High Court or Supreme Court. He had further submitted that implementation of the RTE was a policy matter in which the courts could not interfere. He added that no loss was being caused to the petitioners in this case. However, the court rejected all these contentions and ruled that the case was maintainable and would be heard on merits. Simultaneously, it granted the petitioners a formal "leave of the Court" required under Section 91 of the Civil Procedure Code to agitate the matter before the Court of law. The court also extended the existing stay on admission to 25 per cent seats up to Class VII in Panchkula schools till May 12, when the case will come up for hearing on the issue of making all city schools and the DEO as defendant parties to the case.
