Supreme Court Declines Plea Challenging Access Restrictions in UP and Rajasthan Schools
The Supreme Court of India declined to hear a plea challenging restrictions imposed by Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan governments on the entry of journalists, social media influencers, and activists into government schools. The restrictions also limit photography, videography, interviews, and livestreaming within school premises. The plea, filed after the Cockroach Janta Party's 'School Thik Karo' campaign highlighted poor school infrastructure, argued these curbs hinder public awareness about school conditions. The court's refusal maintains the current access limitations.
