The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday closed two petitions pertaining to the reopening of schools in Tamil Nadu. While the first petition sought direction to the State government to continue online classes, the second petition sought direction to revert to online classes.
A Division Bench of Justices Pushpa Sathyanarayana and P. Velmurugan took into account the fact that both the petitions had become infructuous and closed them. Both the petitions were filed by K. Abdul Vahabudeen of Tirunelveli district. All schools in Tamil Nadu reopened in November, the State government submitted.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
