Supreme Court leaves it to the government to decide if religious schools are charitable or religious bodies, not secular institutions.
The Supreme Court of India on Monday (May 11, 2026) left it to the government to consider whether schools which impart religious instruction should be brought under the ambit of constitutional provisions dealing with charitable or religious establishments, rather than being recognised as ‘secular or professional’ educational institutions.
A Bench headed by Justice Dipankar Datta said the issue was within the domain of the Ministry of Education, and the court need not intervene for now.
