Bombay HC Stays Compulsory Census Deployment of Private Unaided School Teachers, Finds No Statutory Basis
A Division Bench of the Bombay High Court has stayed notices and appointment orders requisitioning teachers from over 500 private unaided and minority schools in Maharashtra for census duties, holding that neither the Census Act, 1948 nor the Census Rules, 1990 provide any express statutory authority for such compulsory deployment.
