The Division Bench of High Court hearing the appeals by derecognised primary schools, has deferred its order till June 25. The Bench which was to pass orders on the appeals on Tuesday, adjourned it while seeking to refer the Full Bench proceedings in the case against 1994 language policy.

Following this, the Bench adjourned the matter to June 25, saying it would refer to the proceedings of the Full Bench before passing orders on the appeals.
