Parents approach Delhi High Court against school fee hike

Saturday, March 21, 2009

NEW DELHI - A group of parents Friday approached the Delhi High Court against the official notification on school fee hikes, recommended by the S.C. Bansal Committee which the Delhi government set up last year.

The Delhi Abhibhavak Mahasangh, aided by NGO Social Jurist, has challenged the Directorate of Education’s (DoE) notification on the grounds that it violates the orders of the high court and the Supreme Court that the accounts of each school be examined before they are allowed to raise the fee.

The schools have been demanding up to 50 per cent tuition fee hike in order to implement the Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations on teachers’ salaries and arrears. The DoE has created five slabs on the basis of the existing tuition fee in schools, allowing them a maximum fee hike of Rs. 500.

The case is expected to be heard Wednesday next week.

2. That the School pasted a notice on their notice board for re-admission and directed to apply for students seeking re-admission in class-XI.
3. That my daughter SHRISTI KSHMATA preferred to apply for PCM Course and requested that she is expecting good marks because at the time of pre board due to illness she was unable to perform well.
4. That on 03.04.2009, I along with my daughter appeared before the Principal and requested to take her admission in the science stream (PCM).
5. That the Principal refused to hear the plea that the CBSE Board Class-X Results are awaited and says “ NO “to her readmission on the pretext of performing poor in pre board exams.
6. The Supreme Court of India also directed all the schools to re-admit his/her student in higher classes if he/she passes the CBSE Board Exams in the CIVIL APPEAL NO. 6487 OF 2008, [Arising out of SLP (C) No.19554 of 2007], Principal, Kendriya Vidyalaya & Ors, Appellants, Versus Saurabh Chaudhary & Ors… Respondents, CIVIL APPEAL NO. 6487 OF 2008, [Arising out of SLP (C) No.19554 of 2007]: Principal, Kendriya Vidyalaya & Ors.Appellants, Versus, Saurabh Chaudhary & Ors.
