It wasn’t. Delhi High Court just asked; can the Election Commission really pull government school teachers away from classrooms during school hours? A PIL claims entire teaching staffs in Delhi schools have been sent off to update voter lists; leaving kids with guest teachers or even subject-switched staff. Private schools? Uninterrupted. The EC says they’re only asking for after-hours help. But the Court isn’t buying it yet. They’ve asked for an affidavit; and the real question is hanging: Can an election body override the right to education? This isn’t about votes. It’s about who pays the price for democracy; when it’s the kids who show up to empty classrooms.
