The Kerala High Court set aside an order requiring approval of a co-education proposal at a girls-only school in Erattupetta and directed fresh consideration.
Background
Managers and teachers from a nearby boys’ school said their interests had not been adequately heard before approval was directed. The Division Bench permitted their participation in the renewed proceedings.
Legal issue and reasoning
The Court did not permanently prohibit co-education. It recognised the need to hear affected parties and preserve the position of students already admitted during the dispute.
Consequence and next step
Status quo will continue for the existing students until the single judge decides the school’s petition on its merits.
Bench: Justice Anil K. Narendran and Justice Muralee Krishna S.
