JUDGMENT Hon'ble Dilip Gupta,J. The petitioner, in the petition which has ostensibly been filed in the public interest, seeks a change in the uniform of the students who are admitted to the third respondent. The petitioner has a grievance about the dress code for girls being skirts. We must express our displeasure about the underlying notions which have led to the filing of the petition. There is absolutely nothing improper about such a dress code for girl students which would permit the wearing of the skirt if the concerned educational authorities believe that such a dress code is appropriate. The change, if any, must be brought in the mindset of those who complain about such a dress code and not by changing the dress code itself. The petitioner has even filed the photographs of the children of the school sitting with the teachers in a group photograph. We are of the view that the petition constitutes a thorough abuse of the process of the Court. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs.
