    The High Court of Bombay, Circuit Bench at Kolhapur, allowed multiple consolidated writ petitions challenging Government Resolutions dated 01.04.2026 and 02.04.2026, which disqualified petitioner-institutions from receiving grant-in-aid due to non-compliance with assessment norms. The court held that the State violated procedural fairness by withdrawing recognition and threatening student absorption without affording affected schools, teachers, and students a hearing opportunity, and without considering practical consequences like staff absorption, medium of instruction continuity, and availability of nearby schools. The court directed deletion of petitioners' institutions from the disqualification list and prohibited any further action against them under the impugned resolutions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
