Regulation of educational institutes: SC seeks school education secretary's response on contempt plea
The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought a response from the School Education Secretary in the Ministry of Education on a petition alleging non-compliance with its order to consider a plea seeking regulation of all institutions imparting education or religious instruction to children below 14 years of age.
A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagu issued notice to T K Anil Kumar, Secretary (Department of School Education and Literacy), Ministry of Education, and sought his reply in four weeks.
The top court was hearing a contempt plea filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, who alleged that the secretary did not take any action on his representation.
