Supreme Court Declines PIL for Central Law and Guidelines on School Bullying
The Supreme Court on September 29, 2026, declined to entertain a PIL seeking a central law and uniform guidelines to address bullying and ragging in schools and pre-university institutions across India. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, noted that the court had already ruled on these issues and barred fresh petitions for implementation. However, the petitioner, Yadavi Aditya Rasiwasiya, was permitted to submit a representation to relevant authorities. The plea also requested mandatory curriculum inclusion on bullying and ragging and sought directives for effective complaint handling by educational bodies.
