New Delhi, May 2 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday directed the continuation of the interim order passed by the Kerala High Court asking the Lakshadweep administration to include non-vegetarian food including chicken in the midday meals for school children.
A Bench headed by Justice Indira Banerjee and A S Bopanna passed the interim order.
“We direct the continuation of the interim order passed by the Kerala High Court,” the Bench said.
The court also issued notice in a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed against the September 2021 judgment of the Kerala High Court which dismissed a PIL challenging the Lakshwadweep administration’s decision to exclude meat from mid-day meals and to close down the dairy farms in that region.
The High Court had passed the directions after going through PIL filed by Ajmal Ahmed, a resident of Lakshadweep and a lawyer.
The High Court had in June 2021 passed an interim order to stay the administration’s decisions.
