Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay vs Union of India & Ors

Bench: 3 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay filed a writ petition under Article 32 seeking directions to establish a National Education Council and introduce constitutional education in school curricula. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, holding that educational policy and institutional reforms fall within the domain of experts and the executive, not the judiciary. The Court found no justiciable issue and declined to allow its office to be used to legitimize the petitioner's policy suggestions. The Court noted that constitutional education is already available through existing syllabus subjects.
