Delhi High Court Rejects Review Of Cash-Instead-Of-Uniforms Policy

The Delhi High Court rejected a review challenge to its acceptance of Delhi’s policy providing cash for school uniforms instead of uniforms in kind.

Judge / Bench — Justices Subramonium Prasad and Renu Bhatnagar.

The 12 October 2026 judgment held that the applicant was rearguing matters already considered. It found no apparent error or overlooked material. The administrative difficulties behind the policy did not make it arbitrary, and the court had already examined its consistency with the Right to Education Act. The review petition and pending applications were dismissed.

Advocates appearing — Petitioner/review petitioner: Khagesh B. Jha, Advocate. Respondent: Not named in the judgment/order.
