Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the transfer of students from one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) to another, emphasizing the need for a conducive educational environment under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court held that the abrupt transfer and subsequent expulsion of the petitioners, who faced cultural and linguistic challenges, violated their right to education and dignity. The Court directed the authorities to reconsider the admission of the petitioners, ensuring their right to education is upheld.
