The Bar Council of India on Tuesday told Delhi High Court that it will consider within "reasonable time" the issue of introducing Right to Education Act as a compulsory subject in law colleges.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma was hearing a public interest litigation by NGO Social Jurist, which asserted that Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, a key right of children, can be implemented in its true letter and spirit only if it is taught as a compulsory subject in the curriculum rather than just being part of a subject.
