The bench of Justice Jyoti Singh dismissed the writ petition filed by Master Janmesh Sagar, who had argued that subjecting students to an admission test amounted to an unlawful screening procedure prohibited under Section 13 of the RTE Act and infringed upon the fundamental right to education under Article 21-A of the Constitution.
