Admit RTE kids, school not a money-making venture: Bombay HC

A bench of Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice A S Sonak was hearing a writ petition filed by the Urn Education Society over the failure of the state to reimburse the school for providing admissions to students under the RTE Act, despite earlier court orders asking them to do so.
