Right to Education Act referred to constitutional bench Private schools lobby protest against the forward thinking Act
The Supreme Court yesterday referred the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Amendment) Act, 2010 to a constitutional bench saying that its judicial validity needs to be examined in greater detail. A bench headed by Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia which included Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and Swatanter Kumar held that since the Constitution has been amended to accomodate the Act, the matter needs to decided by a larger bench.
