Fee order stands, parents must pay 1st instalment: HC

Hindustan Times  

City private schools on Monday assured the Delhi high court that they will give 15% concession on development fee and annual charges for the current academic year, and that these can be paid in six monthly instalments, even as a bench of justices Rekha Palli and Amit Bansal rejected a Delhi government plea to stay an earlier order allowing schools to levy such charges. It’s not a short term lockdown; things were different last year… The Delhi government should give some money to the schools,” justice Palli said. Justice Nath, in his order, quashed two orders issued by the Delhi government, on April 18 and August 28 last year, which restricted private schools in the city to collect additional charges. Advocate Kamal Gupta, representing the private schools, said, “Schools have been standing right besides the parents in these tough times and in continuation to that have extended the reduction of 15% as also instalments system for this year’s tuition and development fee”.
