DelhiDesk The Delhi High Court rejected a petition seeking the inclusion of legal studies as a subject in all schools. The court stated that it is within the jurisdiction of government officials to make decisions regarding teaching law to schoolchildren. The bench, headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, said that since this matter is a matter of policy, it amounts to misuse of the forum. The petitioner’s counsel argued that legal education is fundamental and the soul of the Constitution, and that serious steps should be taken regarding the inclusion of legal studies in the school curriculum. However, the court asked the counsel to explain the authority under which the petitioner has the right to demand that such a subject be taught in schools. The court ultimately dismissed the plea. The Delhi government’s counsel stated that it is providing proper education to students, and the issue of introducing a new subject is within the purview of academic experts.
