The Madras High Court on Wednesday (July 1, 2026) admitted a writ petition filed by All India Private Educational Institutions Association (AIPEA) challenging the constitutional validity of Section 30 of the Tamil Nadu Private Schools (Regulation) Act, 2019 which imposes several restrictions on alienating the properties belonging to private schools.
First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice G. Arul Murugan granted six weeks’ time for the State government to file its counter affidavit. The petitioner association had pointed out that it challenged the legal provision on multiple grounds including legislative incompetence, jurisdictional overreach and usurpation of powers of civil courts.
