Quick Summary: Vidya International School in Nashik, Maharashtra, asked for money they were supposed to get under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. The Bombay High Court agreed with them and told the state to check and pay what they owe.
Vidya International School, located in Dhanore, Nashik, took their case to the Bombay High Court. The school, led by Principal Shubhangi Rupesh Shinde, wanted the State of Maharashtra to pay the money they were owed under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. They wanted the state to give them the funds they deserved.
The school's lawyers included Mr. Shrinath Badade and Mr. Rayyan Shah, with Mr. Vaibhav Kadam helping. They said the school had been waiting a long time for the money and needed the court to step in so they could get what they were owed.
The case was looked at by Judges Ravindra V. Ghuge and Abhay J. Mantri on January 12, 2026. They gave clear instructions:
"The admissible amount of reimbursement to Vidya International School be released within a period of two weeks thereafter."
The court closed the case with these instructions. This decision was a big step for Vidya International School, making sure they would either get the money or have a way to fight the decision if they didn't.
Vidya International School will now wait for the state to do what they were told within the time given. If there's any delay or refusal, they can go back to court for more help.
This case shows how important it is for schools to use the law to get the money they deserve. It also shows how the courts help make sure education laws are followed.
