State Of Karnataka vs Asstd.Mang.Of Gov.Rec.Prim.& ... on 6 May, 2014
20. Mr. Katarki submitted that the reliance placed by the State
on the decision of this Court in English Medium Students
Parents Association v. State of Karnataka & Ors. (supra) in
which the earlier Government Order dated 22.06.1989
prescribing mother tongue as the medium of instruction was
upheld is misplaced as the reason given by this Court in the
aforesaid decision for upholding the order dated 22.06.1989
25
of the State Government is that the order did not have an
element of compulsion.
