The court stated, “These institutions should operate online unless they fully fix to safety regulations and fundamental standards for dignified living. They are putting the lives of aspirants, who come from across the country, at risk.”

The Supreme Court also directed the Centre, the Delhi government, and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to submit detailed responses regarding the current safety measures. The bench conveyed significant concern for the safety and well-being of students at these coaching centers.
