Santosh Singh vs Union Of India And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution concerning the inclusion of moral education in the school curriculum, asserting that the State has a constitutional obligation to promote moral values in education. The petitioner argued that the absence of moral science as a compulsory subject violates Article 25, which guarantees freedom of conscience, and undermines the fundamental duties outlined in Article 51A(f). The Court emphasized the importance of integrating moral education to foster constitutional values and national character, ultimately recognizing the need for educational reforms to address societal moral degradation.
