Supreme Court Issues Notice to Education Secretary on Contempt Plea Over Regulation of Educational Institutions
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Union Education Secretary, T.K. Anil Kumar, on a contempt plea filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay alleging non-compliance with an earlier order to consider his representation. The plea seeks regulation, registration, recognition, supervision, and monitoring of all institutions imparting secular or religious education to children under 14, citing constitutional provisions. The petitioner raised concerns about unregistered institutions potentially affecting national security and children's welfare. The court has given four weeks for a response and dispensed with the Secretary's personal appearance.
