Court: no law mandates Vande Mataram
The judges pointed out there's no law forcing students to sing Vande Mataram.
Even though the petitioner felt kids were being pushed to sing devotional verses, the court said there's no actual obligation here.
As Additional Solicitor General Aravind Kamath put it, there is no statutory provision that mandates singing of the national song in schools.
