THE UNION OF INDIA THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE DEPTT. GOVT. OF INDIA, NEW DELHI 2. THE CHAIRMAN AND SECRETARY CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION, 2, COMMUNITY CENTRE, PREET VIHAR, DELHI-110092 .......respondents ----------- 2 07-12-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State, learned counsel for the Union of India and learned counsel for the Central Board of Secondary Education. The petitioner has raised certain issues worthy of general public debate through this public interest litigation. According to the petitioner the decision of the Central Board of Secondary Education made in consultation with Ministry of Human Resources Development Department, Government of India does not appear to be proper and in the interest of students. According to learned counsel for the petitioner the Ministry should have first held wider consultation and then decided to introduce grade system beyond class- VIII. We are of the view that the matter relates to policy decision which should not be interfered with by the court. If so advised, the petitioner may raise the wider issues before appropriate fora like the legislature. We are not persuaded to interfere in the matter in public interest. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
