Correct answer: (D) 1, 2, 3 and 4 — All four cases are taken as related to the right to education here, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★All four cases are taken as related to the right to education here, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
★Mohini Jain held that the right to education flows from the right to life under Article 21.
★Unnikrishnan refined this, recognising a right to free education up to the age of fourteen.
★These two cases led to the insertion of Article 21A by the 86th Amendment in 2002.
★Bandhua Mukti Morcha touched on the dignity, welfare and education of bonded and child labour.
★The K.S. Gandhi case dealt with education boards and the conduct of examinations.
★So the bank of education-related cases is read broadly to cover all four.
