The Supreme Court refused to stay the CBSE's three-language policy for the 2026-27 academic year and listed petitions challenging it for hearing next week. The court directed the Centre to file its reply within 10 days after petitioners raised concerns over implementation, teachers, textbooks and the policy's legal basis.

New Delhi, July 14, 2026: The Supreme Court on Tuesday (July 14) refused to stay the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) three-language policy, introduced for the 2026-27 academic year, and deferred the hearing on petitions challenging the policy to next week.

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V. Mohana Prasad issued notice on the fresh petitions and fixed the matter for a detailed hearing next Wednesday, reported.

The Court did not grant any interim relief. Earlier, in May, it had issued notice to the Union government, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the CBSE on a separate batch of petitions.
