Bombay High Court Directs Vidarbha Schools to Reopen After June 30, Sets Aside Earlier Orders
The Bombay High Court's Nagpur bench has set aside two Maharashtra education department orders that mandated reopening schools in Vidarbha from June 15 and later June 22. The court directed schools in Vidarbha to reopen after June 30, citing a 2007 HC directive and a 2023 government resolution that recognized the region's extreme heat and its impact on students' health. The court ruled the department's earlier orders conflicted with these prior decisions and were therefore quashed.
