The Education Circular compelling students to sing the National Anthem lacked force of law, was not validly issued or published as required, and could not lawfully override the appellants' sincerely held religious beliefs protected under Article 19(1) of the Constitution. Disciplinary actions based on the Circular were unlawful and violated both the right to freedom of religion and the right to education.
