Shashil G. Namoshi (Member of Legislative Council, Karnataka) has formally objected to a draft amendment dated April 10, 2026, which proposes a shift from a marks-based evaluation to a grading system for the third language in schools. He argues that this change contradicts directives from the Karnataka High Court and could lead to legal repercussions for the state government due to potential contempt of court. A major concern is the amendment's retroactive application to the already concluded 2025-26 academic year, which Namoshi claims undermines students' rights and the principles of natural justice, violating Article 14 of the Constitution of India. He describes the proposal as arbitrary and lacking a solid academic basis, warning that it could create unequal treatment among students. Furthermore, Namoshi insists that the choice of language should remain with students and their parents, advocating for the preservation of the third language in the curriculum. He also highlighted procedural flaws in the notification process, including insufficient time for stakeholder feedback. Namoshi has called for an immediate withdrawal of the amendment and a halt to its retrospective implementation, urging the government to consider all objections thoroughly before proceeding.
