11-Year-Old Challenges CM SHRI Schools Class 6 Admission Test in Delhi HC

• An 11-year-old student, Master Janmesh Sagar, challenges the Delhi government's Class 6 admission test for CM SHRI Schools in the Delhi High Court.
• The appeal argues the entrance exam violates Section 13 of the RTE Act, 2009, which prohibits screening procedures at the elementary level.
• A Single Bench previously upheld the test, stating CM SHRI Schools are "specified category schools" and Section 13 applies only to entry-level admissions (Nursery/Class I), not Class 6.
• The Single Bench relied on a 2012 ruling, Social Jurist v. GNCTD, which upheld selection-based admissions for RPVVs at Class VI.
• The appellant seeks to overturn the Single Bench judgment, arguing it weakens the RTE Act's protective purpose and legitimizes screening.
