Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the High Court erred in relying on the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 to grant relief to City Montessori School after rejecting its mandamus request against the Lucknow Development Authority regarding plot No.92A/C. The Court held that the High Court's quashing of the LDA's actions was unjustified as it did not consider the legality of the tender process initiated by the LDA under the relevant government orders. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the LDA's decision regarding the plot.
