Delhi High Court rejects PIL seeking to include legal studies in government schools

Today, the division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad of Delhi High Court rejected a plea, seeking to include legal studies in government schools of the Capital.

While rejecting a plea, the Court observed that the inclusion of a subject in the curriculum falls within the domain of the executive and courts are not a forum to decide such issues. 

"Where is the right to demand that this particular stream be made part of the curriculum? Tomorrow some child would come to us and say I was astrophysics as a subject," the Court remarked.

Advocate Meghverna Sharma appeared for the petitioners and submitted that subjects like Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been made part of the curriculum and the students that the petitioner met want to study law as well.
 
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Chetan Sharma stated that the government has initiatives like Know Your Constitution for people who want to engage with the Indian constitution.
