'Unreasonable' To Make Payment Of Tuition Fee Optional: HP HC Directs State Govt To Revisit Policy on Payment Of Fees To Private Schools [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Himachal Pradesh High Court on Monday set aside a Government Order inasmuch as it made payment of tuition fee by the parents "optional". The Division Bench comprising Justices Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Jyotsna Rewal Dua set aside two conditions in GO dated May 27 that restricted private schools from depriving any student from online classes for non-payment of tuition fee and precluded them from charging fine for or striking of a student's name for non-payment of fees. The Court held that expecting the schools to neither stop payment of monthly salary nor reduce the existing total emoluments being paid to their teaching and non-teaching staff but at the same time permitting the schools to collect only the tuition fee, that too on monthly basis without authorizing them to compulsorily realize even this tuition fee is an "unreasonable restriction". It ordered, "Private schools henceforth are allowed to charge monthly tuition fees and are authorized to enforce collection of the same. The past tuition fees due towards the private schools are also permitted to be realized by them without charging any fine/late fees after giving two months notice."
