SC stays NCPCR recommendation to shut govt-funded Madrasas for non-compliance with RTE

The Supreme Court has stayed the NCPCR’s recommendation to close government-funded Madrasas, citing infringement on minority rights. Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind argued that the directive lacked legal authority and violated fundamental rights. The NCPCR sought compliance with the RTE Act, but the Court’s intervention halts immediate action by the Centre and states.
