Minority schools have approached the Delhi High Court challenging a new law that makes government approval mandatory for school fee increases. They argue the law violates Article 30 of the Constitution, which protects minority institutions’ right to manage their own affairs.
The Delhi High Court declined to stay a notification mandating private schools to form fee regulation committees. A Division Bench extended deadlines, allowing committees by January 20 and fee proposals submission by February 5 instead of earlier stipulated dates.
Parents of 32 students expelled from DPS Dwarka over unpaid fees have petitioned the Delhi High Court, alleging violations of court orders and mistreatment of their children. They claim the school expelled students without notice, disregarding written complaints and threatening the students with bouncers. The case raises significant concerns about private schools’ practices.
