The petitioner S Gopikrishnan, who has two school going daughters, on citing various newspaper reports wherein children have been subjected to sexual harassment in school buses including an incident at Mettuplayam in the beginning of the year had sought for a direction to install CCTV camera with GPS in school buses to aid monitoring its movement through an official website by the parents.

Based on this, the bench on citing the bye laws made applicable for CBSE schools in this regard said, “Right to education means, right to health and hygiene, drinking water, fire safety, building safety and transport precautions in the school, as well.

It also includes adequate facilities for providing recreation, physical education, conduct of various activities and programmes for the cultural and moral development of children.”
