The Supreme Court PIL said that since the petitioner has raised serious and important issues of sanitation and hygiene of girl students in government and government-aided schools, it requests the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to assist the court.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha took note of the plea of social activist Jaya Thakur, a Madhya Pradesh-based doctor, and issued notices to the central government and all the states and UTs. It sought replies of the Centre and states by the second week of January and directed that the copies of the petition be served to the states through their standing counsels.
