Kallakurichi-based Latha Educational Society Kaniyamoor, which runs two schools that were ransacked by rioters on July 17 following the death of a Class XII girl in one of those schools, has approached the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the government to permit the institutions to reopen.
The society’s writ petition has been listed for admission before Justice Abdul Quddhose on Tuesday. Pending consideration of its main plea to reopen the schools, the society had also sought for an interim order permitting it to enter the premises and carry out repair works besides painting the buildings.
Advocate General R. Shunmugasundaram is expected to appear on behalf of the government before the judge when the petition is taken up for admission. In its affidavit, the society’s treasurer K. Murugesan said it was formed in 1993 and runs Sakthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School and ECR International School.
