    The High Court of Bombay (Kolhapur Bench) allowed multiple consolidated writ petitions challenging Government Resolutions dated 01.04.2026 and 02.04.2026 that disqualified grant-in-aid schools for non-compliance with assessment norms. The court found the state action illegal, holding that schools with valid recognition required procedural safeguards including hearing opportunities before withdrawal, consideration of student welfare, staff absorption, and availability of alternative schools. The court directed removal of petitioner institutions from the disqualification lists and prohibited further action under the resolutions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
