The NDA government had earlier passed an interim order replacing the German language with Sanskrit in schools.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court stepped in over the row over Sanskrit replacing German in Kendriya Vidyalaya schools across the country on Friday. The SC has asked the Attorney General if German can continue as a third language for this academic year only. The matter will come up for hearing on Monday. The government had filed an interim order to replace German with Sanskrit.
The petitioner's lawyer, Himanshu Sharma said, "The SC has directed the Center to come up with some alternative asking if this change can be implemented from the next session in April. Court has asked us to file a rejoinder by Wednesday."
The decision to do away with German mid-session will affect over 70,000 students across 500 KVs from classes 6 to 8.
