The Supreme Court on Monday (October 21, 2024) stayed the operations of the communications issued by child rights body National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) urging States to shift students of unrecognised madrassas to government schools.A Bench comprising Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra took note of the submissions of senior advocate, appearing for Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind, that the communications of the NCPCR and consequential actions of some of States needed to be stayed.
Why did the Supreme Court stay a High Court verdict declaring U.P. madarsa law ‘unconstitutional’? | Explained
The organisation has challenged the action of Uttar Pradesh and Tripura Governments directing that students of unrecognised madrassas should be shifted to government schools.
The top court ordered the communications of the NCPCR issued on June 7 and June 25 this year should not be acted upon. It also said the consequential orders of the States shall also remain stayed. It also permitted the Muslim body to make States, other than Uttar Pradesh and Tripura as parties to its petition.Published – October 21, 2024 12:36 pm IST
