Delhi HC says blanket ban on smartphones in school not practical; lay out these guidelines

The Delhi High Court has ruled against a complete ban on smartphones in schools, stating that such an approach is neither practical nor desirable. Instead, the court has framed guidelines to regulate and monitor student smartphone use, balancing educational benefits with potential risks.

Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani pointed out that technology has become an essential part of education, making a total ban on smartphones unrealistic. The court also noted that smartphones help students stay connected with their parents, adding to their safety and security.
