Why did the SC stay NCPCR's communication on shifting students of unrecognised madrassas to government schools

Reason behind Supreme Court staying NCPCR's communication regarding madrassas
  • The Supreme Court stayed NCPCR's communication to shift students of unrecognised madrassas to government schools due to concerns over religious discrimination and violation of the right to freedom of religion.
  • The court found that singling out students of madrassas for forced relocation could target a specific religious group and interfere with their cultural practices.
  • The decision to stay the communication was also influenced by the need to protect the constitutional rights of individuals to practice their faith without government interference.
  • There were apprehensions that the move could lead to polarisation and stigmatization of a particular community, thereby emphasizing the importance of upholding secular principles in education policy.
