Orders
The Madras High Court upheld the Single Judge's order directing Kendriya Vidyalaya to admit an over-aged OBC child (6 months beyond the 4-year cutoff) to Balavatika-I, holding that strict age enforcement would defeat the Right to Education Act's purpose of including underprivileged children. The court relaxed the age requirement as a special case, directing the school to create an additional seat if necessary, while clarifying this would not set a precedent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
