August 09, 2011  11:42

In a setback to the Jayalalithaa government in Tamil Nadu, the Supreme Court today rejected its plea for scrapping the uniform education system brought in by the earlier DMK government and directed its immediate implementation.

A three-judge bench of justices J M Panchal, Deepak Verma and B S Chauhan dismissed the state's plea that the Uniform System of School Education (Amendment) Act brought into force by the DMK government was sub-standard, lacked quality and was politically motivated.

The apex court also ordered that the act be implemented within 10 days.
