New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): The Delhi High Court on Wednesday disposed of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking direction for a special syllabus for children with autism, stating the issue falls under policy decisions best handled by the government and educational authorities.

The division bench of Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela advised petitioner Anish Sharma to make a formal representation to the Union and Delhi Governments, CBSE, and other relevant bodies instead of approaching the court.
