Case Summary: WP/7824/2025 Outcome: Petition ALLOWED. The court quashed Clause 16 of the October 7, 2025 order and directed the Education Officer to grant the petitioner 40% increased grant-in-aid benefits within two months. Key Issue: A teacher at a minority education institution was denied the enhanced grant-in-aid (increased from 20% to 40%) solely because he had not passed the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). The court held that since the school is a recognized minority institution, RTE Act provisions—including TET requirements—do not apply, making the denial illegal under Supreme Court precedent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
