A petition was filed by a
registered charitable society, seeking various directions to improve the
conditions of Government and aided school and also school run by the local
authorities so that the constitutional objective of providing free and
compulsory education under the Constitution of India would be a reality.
The Supreme Court in Environment
& Consumer Protection Foundation Vs Delhi Administration & Others [CDJ
2012 SC 674] directed the schools across the country to provide basic infrastructure
facilities like toilet facilities for boys and girls, drinking water
facilities, sufficient class rooms, appointment of teaching and non-teaching
staff, etc., if not already provided, within six months from the judgement
(decided on 03.10.2012). It was held that the directions are applicable to all
the schools, whether State owned or privately owned, aided or unaided, minority
or non-minority.
