Kochi: The Kerala High Court Thursday reserved orders on a batch of petitions challenging the government order sanctioning plus two schools and additional batches.
Advocate General K P Dandapani handed over the plus two files to the court.
The court had yesterday expressed displeasure at the government's attitude with the state government failing to produce files relating to sanctioning of plus two schools and additional batches this academic year.
Justice P R Ramachandra Menon asked whether there is merit in the matter of grant of plus two courses and additional batches and why government schools were denied plus two courses.
The AG justified the order pointing out that the order was issued legally and the cabient sub-committee considered the opinion of all MLAs regarding the education needs in their constituencies.
Muslim Education Society (MES) and others had approached the court stating that the plus two courses were not sanctioned based on the educational need and on the basis of recommendations of an expert committee.
