Citizens who question intention/ purpose of SOPs promoting Digital Learning act against country's interest: Bombay High Court [Read Order]

In the 21st century, a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the Government that promotes digital methods of education must "be hailed a big progressive measure taken by the Government in making digital position of India stronger and firmer in the Comity of Nations", the Bombay High Court said recently.

The Court made the observation while dealing with a petition filed against such an SOP brought about by the State (Imran Israel Sheikh v. Union of India and others).

The plea prompted the Court's criticism when it was appraised that the petitioner had not approached the Government to address the cited grievances.
