Who is stopping you: Delhi HC after Centre says Health and Yoga Science should be in curriculum
The court was hearing the petition filed by BJP leader Ashwani Kumar Upadhyay arguing that the State has an obligation to provide health and yoga education to children.
The court directed police to share the latest status report in a sealed cover with the Chief Minister’s Secretariat since it concerns security arrangements being made with respect to his residence. The Centre on Wednesday told the Delhi High Court that it will respond to a petition seeking a direction to make ‘Health and Yoga Science’ a mandatory part of curriculum upto class VIII after the court questioned why the government should need a court order in a matter involving policy.
The court was hearing the petition filed by BJP leader Ashwani Kumar Upadhyay arguing that the State has an obligation to provide health and yoga education to children. Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma submitted that the petition has raised important questions “and indeed it needs to be incorporated”.
The division bench of acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Sachin Datta in the order said, “Even before we could issue notice, he [ASG] states that respondents would take instructions in the matter”.
