Miss Mohini Jain vs State Of Karnataka And Ors on 30 July, 1992
In Miss Mohini
Jain v. State of Karnataka and Ors. MR 1992 SC 1858, the
apex Court has said that the right to education is
concomitant to fundamental rights contained in Part III of
the Constitution. The State is under a constitutional
mandate to provide educational institutions at all levels for
the benefit of the citizens. Every citizen has right to
education under the Constitution and the State is under an
obligation to establish educational institutions to enable the
citizens to enjoy the said right. The right to education
directly flows from the right to life and liberty. Right to life
with dignity is guaranteed under Article 21 of the
Constitution and the dignity of the individual cannot be
assured unless it is accompanied by the right to education.
