court on its Own Motion v. State of Hp
Case brief
What is this about?
CWPIL No.146 of 2017, Court on its own motion v. State of HP and Ors.; order dated 12.05.2026 by G.S. Sandhawalia, CJ and Bipin C. Negi, J dismissing CMP No.10642 of 2026 and CMP No.10644 of 2026; permission refused to hold Village Level Birshee Mela Kasholi (11.05.2026 to 14.05.2026) in ground of Govt. Primary School Kasholi, Tehsil Nirmand, District Kullu, HP; school premises not to be used for activities alien to education per main order dated 11.12.2017; cultural programs and stalls on working days when school is open; second application dismissed as not pressed.
What did the court decide?
Giving permission for cultural programs during working days, when the school is open and stalls would have to be erected, could mitigate against the main order dated 11.12.2017 passed in CWPIL No.146 of 2017 (which held that school or college premises shall not be permitted to be used for activities alien to education); therefore there is no plausible reason to allow the application in CMP No.10642 of 2026, which is dismissed and stands disposed of.
