In Brief
The State of Orissa challenged a High Court order directing it to allot 1.55 acres of land to an English medium school. During the Supreme Court appeal, the State identified an alternate site in consultation with the State Housing Board and agreed to allot it if the school obtained educational affiliation. The Court disposed of the appeals, directing the school to apply for the alternate land within one month and secure affiliation from the appropriate authority. The State must allot land of no less than the originally mandated 1.55 acres. The school may cite this judgment when seeking affiliation.
