We see no reason why these kinds of persons be associated in any manner for purpose of preparation of curriculum or finalisation of textbook for next generation,” stated the court.
The bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, however, added that the three individuals may approach the court if they seek modification of the order and provide an explanation.
