No.15784 of 2002 .................................................................... Dated this the 4th day of February, 2008. JUDGMENT C.N.Ramachandran Nair, J. The O.P. was filed for direction to the Government to grant sanction for the Plus Two course in the aided sector. The application originally filed in 1998 and rejected was directed to be reconsidered by this court. In any case an application for sanction for the Higher Secondary course has to be approved with reference to the current norms and policy of the Government. Moreover, subsequent changes such as availability of students and other educational institutions in the area, also may be relevant. In the circumstances, we close this O.P. leaving freedom to the petitioner to make an application for sanction for the next year. If any such application is made, there will be direction to the Government to consider it and pass orders based on current norms and policy of the Government.
