MUMBAI: State government must hold an inquiry and cancel the minority certificates of educational institutions that are evading the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, a public interest litigation has urged Bombay high court.
It is filed by advocate Arvind Tiwari whose 13-year-old son was expelled from Ghatkopar’s P G Garodia School for "the activities of his father" who was the "successful petitioner" in a PIL to cancel 10 & 12 ICSE board exams in July 2020. He also intervened in the petition by Association of Schools challenging the State’s fee reduction to parents due to Covid-19 lockdown in 2020-21.
