    The High Court of Bombay (Kolhapur Bench) allowed multiple consolidated writ petitions challenging Government Resolutions dated 01.04.2026 and 02.04.2026, which disqualified petitioner educational institutions from grant-in-aid and threatened student absorption into other schools. The court held that the State violated procedural fairness by withdrawing recognition without following Secondary School Code procedures or granting hearing opportunities to affected schools, teachers, and students. The court directed deletion of petitioners' institutions from the disqualification list, permitting them to continue operations.
