Ms. Priyanka Singh , LL.M. Student, Department of Law, University of Kota, Kota, Rajasthan (India)
This article examines the pivotal role of the judiciary in ensuring quality education in India, with a particular focus on judicial interventions that have reinforced the constitutional mandate of the Right to Education under Article 21-A. By reviewing landmark judgments, public interest litigations, and court directives, the article highlights how the judiciary has acted as a catalyst in holding the state accountable for educational standards, infrastructure, teacher availability, and equitable access. It further analyses the judiciary’s influence in interpreting and expanding the scope of educational rights, especially for marginalized communities. Through a critical evaluation of case law and policy impact, the article underscores the strengths and limitations of judicial activism in education governance and suggests pathways for a more balanced and collaborative approach among the judiciary, legislature, and executive to uphold the promise of quality education for all.
