The India — Supreme Court of India has sought responses from the India — India and the India — Government of Punjab regarding a plea filed by Jagmohan Singh Raju on behalf of K S Raju Legal Trust. The plea alleges that the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, 2009, has not been substantially implemented in Punjab for the past 15 years. Specifically, it claims that private schools are not admitting the mandated 25% of children from weaker and disadvantaged sections in Class 1. The India — Supreme Court of India has issued notice and suggested the petitioner conduct a survey to identify non-compliant schools, while also noting an earlier affidavit from the India — Government of Punjab stating that only 450 students from economically weaker sections were admitted, far below the petitioner's estimate of 50,000.
