For Petitioner(s)

Dr. Balram Singh, Adv. Mr. Ajay Kumar Talesara, AOR Mr. Ekansh Bansal, Adv.

For Respondent(s) UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R Heard Dr. Balram Singh, along with Mr. Ajay Kumar Talesara, learned counsel for the petitioner. In the present writ petition preferred under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has prayed for issuance of a writ

of

mandamus

and

appropriate

directions

commanding

the

respondents, namely, the Union of India and all the States and Union

Territories

to

incorporate

detailed

life

history

and

teachings of all the ten Sikh Gurus along with Guru Granth Saheb in syllabus of all the classes in history books for teaching.

It is

urged in the petition that the life history of Sikh Gurus and history of Sikhs have not been given appropriate place in history books whereas there is mention of other historical personalities and different rulers. Without entering into the merits, suffice it to say that what shall be taught in the schools or what shall be included in the

2 syllabus

of

all

classes

cannot

be

The present case comes within the realm of public

interest litigation. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the cause of public interest would be best sub-served if this Court directs the respondents to incorporate complete history and teachings of Gurus in the syllabus of history books of all classes. Be

it

noted,

Any litigant should not feel, litigation

that

his

and

aspirations for anything and everything deserves to crystalise.

He

should not harbour the feelings that for any idea to be fructified, he can knock at the doors of this Court under Article 32 of the Constitution of India.

The broad canvass that is sought to be

painted in this petition, as it appears to us, does not come within the domain and sphere of the public interest litigation. In view of the aforesaid analysis, we do not perceive any merit in this petition and accordingly the same stands dismissed.
