Intermediate College, Azamgarh.2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Standing Counsel and Sri S.C. Budhwar who has been appointed by me as amicus curiae in this case.3. In my opinion, the claim of the petitioners for salaries as teachers in the primary section is interlinked with the right of children to get free education upto the age of 14 years.

It has been held by the Supreme Court in Unni Krishnan J.P. and Ors. v. State of Andhra Pradesh, and Ors., 1933 (1) SCC 645, that every child has a fundamental right to get free education upto the age of 14 years, and I have held in Surendra Kumar Dixit v.
