Bengaluru: The High Court on Monday requested the center to make standing vis-vis-vis litigation of public interest (pills) challenging two government orders that made the study of Kannada as a mandatory subject for students.
The division bench led by the Chief Judge Raja Raj Awasthi directed the center to submit a written statement in this case before 30 November, the next hearing date.
Samskrita Bharati (Karnataka) belief, Bengaluru, and three other institutions related to Sanskrit promotion to submit this petition, challenging the validity of government orders on August 7, 2021 and September 15, 2021 to the extent to make the subject mandatory, say it is contrary to the national education policy (NEP).
Previously, the Advocate-General Prabhuling K Navadgi said it was a policy decision in line with the recommendation of the Gokak VK Committee report because it provided an advantage to Kannada in education, received by the state government in April 1982.
He claimed that what was prescribed was only a functional kannada for Students who have not studied languages until PU goes up and adds that the same thing to help them in their transactions.
He argued that even the new National Education Policy (NEP) supported the state government case.
Receipt is over and prayers for temporary assistance cannot be maintained, he added.
Senior Advocate SS Naganand, appeared on behalf of the applicant, said Nep did not say that the state government could force students from other states to study Kannada.
According to the applicant, two government orders will also hinder the acceptance and rights of minority institutions, students and teachers at risk of losing work because the choice of choosing languages is now limited.
They also searched for declaration with the effect that NEP-2020 did not impose student restrictions to choose certain languages as part of the curriculum for higher education.
They claim that an estimated 1,32,300 students and 4,000 teachers who teach Sanskrit (600), Hindi (3,000), Urdu (300 and other languages (100) will be influenced by the state of the state government.
