Ms. Aruna Roy And Others vs Union Of India And Others

The petitioners filed a public interest litigation under Article 32 of the Constitution challenging the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) published by the NCERT. It was contended that the NCFSE was anti-secular, contrary to constitutional mandates, and implemented without the required consultation with the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE). The core legal issue pertains to whether the framework violates the principle of secularism and whether the failure to consult CABE renders the framework legally unsustainable.
