Supreme Court Declines PIL for Mandatory Biometric Attendance in Schools
The Supreme Court declined to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking a mandatory biometric attendance system for school students to address dummy educational institutions. The bench of Justices P Narasimha and Alok Aradhe directed the petitioner to approach the high courts instead, noting the petition was filed under Article 32, which the Supreme Court was not inclined to entertain. The petitioner also requested limits on coaching hours and a code of conduct for coaching centers to prevent misleading advertising.
