The Supreme Court on Friday will hear the plea seeking its direction for a comprehensive set of guidelines to ensure safety and security of school children.
The apex court had ordered a compilation of norms formulated by the Centre and states for its consideration.
Earlier in the month, the top court had asked all states and union territories to file a response on a public interest litigation seeking guidelines to ensure safety and security of school children across the country, the deadline of which is today.
So far, three states—Haryana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh—have filed their responses in the case.
On a related note, the plea was filed in the wake of the brutal murder of Pradyuman Thakur, a Class II student of Gurugram's Ryan International School last year.
