SC enraged by RTE exemption challenge, fines petitioner ₹1 lakh

• Supreme Court expressed strong displeasure over a plea challenging its decision to exempt minority schools from the Right to Education (RTE) Act.
• The Court imposed a ₹1 lakh cost on the petitioner, stating such cases undermine the judiciary.
• Justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan warned against filing pleas that challenge Supreme Court judgments under Article 32, calling it a "grossest abuse."
• The plea, filed by NGO United Voice for Education Forum, sought to declare the exemption for minority institutions unconstitutional.
• The 2014 judgment declared the RTE Act inapplicable to minority schools under Article 30(1), which protects their right to establish and administer educational institutions.
