Supreme Court seeks Centre, Punjab response on RTE Act implementation concerns

The Supreme Court has issued notices to the Centre and the Punjab government on a petition alleging inadequate implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act within the state.

The plea raises concerns about lapses in enforcing the RTE Act, which mandates free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years. The court's notice seeks responses from both the central government and Punjab authorities on the implementation challenges highlighted in the petition.

The matter now awaits replies from the respondents before the court proceeds with further hearings.
