New Delhi: Education has been made a right for every citizen and a scheme in this regard has also been churned out but how far the scheme has gone and what are the measures out there to realise the scheme, asked the Supreme Court to the Centre.
The Supreme Court also pulled up the Centre over the haste in creating Acts without setting a proper ground for the Acts to be implemented.
The SC bench comprising Justice UU Lalit, Justices S.R. Bhat and P.S. Narasimha asked Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, representing the Centre, where are the schools to enforce the right the Centre created, referring to the Right to Education Act.
The Court also urged that the government to evaluate the economic impact of the scheme before developing it into an Act.
The Court observed the financial constraints of schemes while hearing a petition seeking adequate infrastructure to provide effective legal aid to women abused in matrimonial homes. The plea said that there is scheme, but the implementation seems not at par with what was planned.
Bhati said substantial progress has been made and there were a lot of parleys and consultations with all states, and added that the Central government needs to keep all states in the loop.
