The Kerala High Court on Saturday sought explanation from the state government as to what criteria was followed in allotting Plus Two schools in the state by overstepping recommendations of the Director of Higher Secondary schools.

The High Court issued the directive while ruling a temporary stay on admissions to the Mar Agustin’s Higher Secondary school in Thuravur, which did not have the recommendations of the Director.

The High Court issued the order while hearing a plea submitted by St. Joseph's High School, Kidangoor, Angamali.
