Maharashtra government's education department had on April 30 issued a GR by which schools were to reserve 25 per cent seats in Class I as entry-level point. Earlier, admissions under RTE were taken from pre-primary sections.
Aggrieved by the GR, several schools approached the High Court stating that admissions for pre-primary sections under RTE quota were already done for this academic year.
However, several schools, despite the High Court order, cancelled admissions of students.
Following this, parents filed a public interest litigation before the HC today.
A division bench of justices S C Gupte and A K Menon asked the parents to first make a representation before the schools informing them about the May 7 order of the High Court directing for status quo on the admissions.
The bench said parents can re-approach the HC later.
