The order came on a petition alleging that the government body was not providing books in time to students studying under the CBSE syllabus.
Disposing the petition, the court directed the NCERT to take immediate action against publishers of pirated books.
The NCERT’s counsel submitted that the body had already registered complaints against three such publishers who were allegedly involved in piracy.
The counsel also contended that the NCERT is printing 4.98 crore copies for the current 2007-08 session against a print run of 2.75 crore copies in the previous session of 2006-07.
It further said that it has already published and distributed 3.20 crore copies nationwide.
