    The High Court of Bombay's Kolhapur bench allowed multiple writ petitions challenging Maharashtra government resolutions that disqualified educational institutions from grant-in-aid status for non-compliance with assessment norms. The court held that the government violated procedural fairness by withdrawing recognition and absorbing students into other schools without providing affected schools, teachers, and students a hearing opportunity or following established procedures under the Secondary School Code. The court directed the government to delete the petitioners' institutions from the disqualification list and permitted them to continue operations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
