J&K and Ladakh High Court Disposes RTE PIL After Govt Publishes Draft Rules

The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has disposed of a PIL filed since 2020 by the Young Lawyers Forum seeking enforcement of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act in the Union Territory. 

The Court noted the government’s submission that draft RTE Rules have been prepared and published for public comments, with a timeline for final notification.

The petitioner agreed to close the case but reserved the right to revive it if the government fails to notify or implement the rules.
