RTE Act not applicable to minority institutions: SC

The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the constitutional validity of the Right to Education Act, which mandates that 25 per cent seats in all schools be reserved for the economically disadvantaged. A five-judge Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha said that the Act will not apply to aided or unaided minority institutions. The bench also said Article 21 (A) does not alter the basis structure of the Constitution.
