Supreme Court Dismisses Plea for Daily Preamble Recitation in School Assemblies
The Supreme Court on October 6, 2026, dismissed a plea seeking a directive for schools to recite the Constitution's Preamble during morning assemblies. The bench, comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Augustine George Masih, and Sandeep Mehta, noted that the Preamble is already taught in Class 6 curricula. The petitioner, an academic, had argued for a national policy to promote constitutional awareness through daily recitation, citing practices in some states and a CBSE circular on positive affirmations. The court found the petition unnecessary and rejected it.
