Action against Parents for failing to send wards to School Mooted
Chennai: Supreme Court Judge Justice K.G. Balakrishnan has mooted a legislation providing for punitive action against parents failing to send their children to school, thereby denying them the fundamental right to primary education.
Speaking at a workshop — Role of Judiciary in Constitution of Monitoring Committee, Prevention, Rehabilitation and Development of Victims Protection Protocol — here on Saturday, Justice Balakrishnan said it was the duty of authorities to ensure the enforcement of the fundamental right. "We should see to it that every parent sends his child to school." He said parental failure in this respect would mean prevalence of child labour-intensive industries in the region or the trafficking of children.
