The KMC had decided to dissolve the school management committees to establish a provision that the chair of the respective ward or a person appointed by the ward chair would head the school management committee.


 The court has also demanded a written response from the KMC with the reasons for removing the school management committee chairs.


 The Chairs of 18 community schools had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court, arguing that the decision of the KMC was against the constitution, education act and regulations.
