HC asks state to implement Centre guidelines until Coaching Bill becomes law
Jaipur: A division bench of
Rajasthan High Court
Friday asked the state govt to implement the guidelines issued by the Central govt regarding coaching institutes until the bill governing them becomes law.
The division bench of Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and Justice Chandra Prakash Shrimali issued this order while hearing the suo motu cognisance taken in the case. The court also asked the coaching centre operators what steps have been taken to help students suffering from depression and what changes have been made in the method of study.
During the hearing, advocate general Rajendra Prasad said, the state govt placed Rajasthan Coaching Center Control and Regulation Bill, 2025, in the Assembly to give it legal form.
The bill was later sent to the select committee, and suggestions were sought on it. He added that without the law, the punitive provisions mentioned in the Central govt's guidelines cannot be implemented.
At the same time, amicus curiae senior advocate Sudhir Gupta informed the court that the guidelines are not being followed by the state govt. The court expressed displeasure and noted that no action was taken by the govt for such a long time.
