The Supreme Court on Tuesday said coaching centres in residential areas were a nuisance to women and the elderly and must shift out to commercial premises or institutional areas, reports The Times of India.

A bench of Chief Justice TS Thakur and Justice UU Lalit refused to give any relief to petitioner All Rajasthan Coaching Institutes Association, which had challenged the eviction order served on its members by Jaipur Development Authority, following a Rajasthan high court order banning functioning of tutorials illegally from residential colonies.

Morning and evening, youngsters come with bikes. Many loiter around, harassing women and old people. Coaching centres must shift out to commercial premises or institutional areas. We will not permit them in residential areas.
