SC rejects NCPCR's demand; Madrasas will continue receive funding and children won't transferred to government schools

On Monday, the Supreme Court stopped the NCPCR's proposals for child rights. In this case, the state will also keep subsidizing madrasas that do not adhere to the Right to Education Act. Additionally, the NCPCR's recommendation for transferring students from unrecognized madrasas to government schools was rejected by the SC.

Today, a panel consisting of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Mishra announced a decision. The SC also heard arguments from the senior lawyer representing the Muslim organization Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, which stated that the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights' (NCPCR) statement and the subsequent measures of certain states must be stopped.

The Muslim body has assailed the order issued by the governments of Uttar Pradesh and Tripura to transfer students of unrecognized madrasas to government schools. The apex court ordered that the communication of NCPCR issued on June 7 and June 25 this year shall not be acted upon. The resulting orders of the states will also remain suspended, the court said. SC allowed the Muslim organisation to array states other than Uttar Pradesh and Tripura as respondents to their petition.
