KOCHI, JULY 14. The State Government has filed an affidavit seeking permission of the High Court to start Plus Two courses in 80 government schools, including the ones in Pathanamthitta and Kottayam districts and also to grant 60 additional batches of Plus Two courses in the existing government schools. The Bench comprising Justice K.S. Radhakrishan and Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair had earlier allowed the government to start certain Plus Two courses in government schools except in Pathanamthitta and Kottayam districts. The court refused to give permission for starting Plus Two courses in schools in Pathanamthitta and Kottayam districts as it found that the number of students passed out in the SSLC examination were less than the Plus Two seats available in these districts. The affidavit filed by the General Education Secretary, P. Mara Pandian, said the government had decided to grant a few more Plus Two schools in Pathanamthitta and Kottayam districts in view of the fact that there were certain pockets in the district, which faced shortage of Plus Two schools.
Order quashed
Justice K. Balakrishnan Nair today quashed the Government Order selecting K.A. Thankappan for the Dr. Ambedkar cash award for the best social worker who had contributed for the uplift of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes community. The order came on a writ petition filed by Joshy Thittayil of Edavanakkad. The judge quashed the order on the ground that the Government had not called for fresh applications for the award after relaxation of a condition regarding the experience of the workers.
Petition dismissed
Justice Kurian Joseph dismissed a writ petition field by the former Government Pleader, Ajith Prakash, challenging the Government Order terminating his service.
Plea against meters
A writ petition was filed before the Kerala High Court seeking to declare that the installation of electronic meters for measuring the actual electrical energy were not `correct meters' as contemplated by Section 26 of the Electricity Act, 1910. The petition was filed by M.K. Prasad. According to him, the electronic meter had not taken into consideration the `power factor' as in the mechanical meters while determining the units of energy consumed. The petition also sought a direction to the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) to replace the electronic meters of those consumers who did not want them to be installed in their premises.
