In Brief
A petitioner sought a court order requiring schools across India to include detailed teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus and Guru Granth Saheb in history syllabus, arguing their history was underrepresented. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, holding that curriculum decisions lie outside the court's domain. The Court emphasised that while public interest litigation permits relaxed standing rules, it has defined limits—not every aspiration warrants judicial intervention. The court cannot direct what schools teach merely because a petition claims public interest.
