New Delhi, April 14 Maintaining that access to professional education is not a governmental largesse, the Supreme Court has said the state had an affirmative obligation to facilitate access to education at all levels. “While the right to pursue higher (professional) education has not been spelt out as a fundamental right in Part III of the Constitution, it bears emphasis that access to professional education is not a governmental largesse. Instead, the state has an affirmative obligation to facilitate access to education, at all levels,” a Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud said. The court was dealing with a case of admission of Farzana Batool and another candidate of Ladakh in a medical college in Delhi against the central pool. In November last year, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MHFW) had allotted one seat each at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Maulana Azad Medical College to the Union Territory of Ladakh from the central pool.
