K.J.PAUL . vs STATE OF KERALA . — SLP(C) No. 12242/2009

Summary of SLP(C) No. 12242/2009 The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Kerala's special leave petitions as infructuous on 18 July 2011. The petitions challenged the High Court's direction to consider schools' applications for "no objection certificates" to seek CBSE/ICSE affiliation. However, the State Government issued a new policy (G.O. No.137/2011 dated 10.6.2011) permitting such affiliations for schools meeting prescribed norms and having own land/facilities. The Court directed the State to reconsider respondents' applications under the new policy within three months, allowing institutions to challenge any rejection orders accordingly.
