Supreme Court Education Cases (Volume 8)

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
Education, so far neglected by governments and policy-makers alike shall be the single most important factor for the development of India into a 'super power' in the years to come. That Indians need education, at all levels — primary, secondary and tertiary is no longer an issue but a given. Thus, as the sector develops many issues are expected to come up before policy-makers, the government and Courts. Issues relating to Constitutional guarantees to minority educational institutions, both religious and linguistic, and the use of reservation by successive governments, both at the Central and State level as a tool of social upliftment have been litigated before the courts. The Right to Education Act is a very important piece of legislation. Its implementation will pose many challenges to governments and court alike. In earlier editions we had included the full text of the important cases and headnotes of the other cases. Looking at the importance of this area of litigation it is now thought prudent to come out with a compilation containing the full text of the judgments of the cases that have been decided by the Supreme Court in this area. Thus, this mini law report series. The cases are now arranged in chronological order and placed volume-wise, each volume being of a handy 900 odd pages. The volumes shall be numbered as Permanent Vol. 1, 2, 3 and so on. A comprehensive index has also been included in the beginning of the volume to assist in finding the relevant case law. Like previous editions the exact page makeup of the case as published in Supreme Court Cases™ (SCC) has been retained. This will facilitate easy citability of this compilation. An internal page numbering has also been provided. Ms Haripriya Padmanabhan, Advocate Supreme Court has been of immense help in the creation of this compilation. Shortcomings, if any, are entirely mine. We hope that this law report series that be of immense help to all those in the education sector to know what is the law of the land is.
