No Absolute Right to Choose School Under RTE: Delhi HC Rejects Appeal
The Delhi High Court has ruled that while the Right to Education ensures access to schooling, it does not grant a child the right to insist on admission in a specific school. The court dismissed an appeal filed by a mother seeking admission for her child in a particular private school under the EWS category.
The child was selected through a computerized draw of lots conducted by the Directorate of Education (DoE) for admission in a private school. However, the school did not grant admission, citing seat-related issues.

J&K High Court upholds flood compensation for Srinagar family, dismisses insurer’s appeal over undisclosed exclusion clause in house damage claim
At the Srinagar wing of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court, a bench comprising Justice Sanjeev Kumar and Justice Sanjay Parihar on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by National Insurance Company Limited. The insurer was seeking to overturn a compensation award granted to a family whose home was damaged during the devastating 2014 floods.
The case originates from a policy taken by late Shad Mohd Bashir, whose residential house at Sarai Payeen, Amira Kadal, Srinagar, had been insured since 2009. Though the policy was renewed annually, the company later claimed that it excluded flood and similar storm-related risks - referred to in technical jargon as “STFI” (Storm, Tempest, Flood, Inundation).
