The Karnataka High Court stays a government order that extends the Right to Education (RTE) quota for SC/ST students to admissions for classes 9 and 10. Both reports say the court has halted the implementation of the extension, which would allow SC/ST students to be admitted under the RTE framework in those higher grades, following earlier practice tied to lower classes. The Hindu reports that the court stays a government circular extending RTE quota admissions to SC/ST students even for classes 9 and 10, indicating that the measure is under legal challenge. Times of India similarly states that the High Court stays an extension order for classes 9 and 10 for SC/ST students. The articles do not provide the court’s detailed reasoning or the next procedural steps in the cases. As a result, the extension is not implemented while the stay remains in effect, pending further hearing and determination by the court.
