If the State government wants to protect the right of children to education as per the Constitutional mandate, then it has to act swiftly, and no red-tapsim or passing the buck can be entertained and the buck should stop somewhere, said the High Court of Karnataka.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna made these observations as the government had not yet started constructing a new building for the government lower primary school, Agaralingana Doddi of Maddur taluk in Mandya district, even four months after the time granted by the court to complete the construction.
Giving three months more to complete the new building, the court cautioned that plea for further extension of time or recalcitrance would be viewed seriously.
