The Supreme Court on Monday (June 9, 2025) refused Tamil Nadu’s oral plea for an urgent listing of its original suit criticising the Centre of stopping its annual share of crucial education funds to the tune of over ₹2000 crore under the Samagra Shiksha Scheme.
A Vacation Bench headed by Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra found no urgency in the case.
Senior Advocate P Wilson, who mentioned the suit, said the lack of funds would impact the future of nearly 48 lakh students in the State, and the academic year had commenced on June 3
“Since when were the funds deprived?” Justice Mishra asked.
“Last year the funds were not given. We have filed the suit on May 20, 2025,” Wilson said.
