Delhi HC asks AAP govt not to take coercive steps against pvt school over fee hike

India Today  

AAP government had made it clear through repeated directives issued to schools that the fees should not be hiked during the lockdown period and the parents are not supposed to be pestered to pay the fees, but not all the schools have been following these instructions. Despite the orders by the state government, the Delhi High Court has directed the AAP government not to take any coercive steps against a private school in relation to show cause notices issued to it for allegedly hiking fees and compelling parents to pay that along with arrears. Justice Jayant Nath gave the direction while issuing notice to the Delhi government’s Directorate of Education on the plea by two branches to the school seeking to keep in abeyance the show cause notices of May 23 till the time Cyber Cell of Delhi Police completes its probe into authenticity of some e-mails allegedly sent by DoE to the school permitting it to hike fees. The court also asked the school’s branches in south Delhi to file their reply to the show cause notices within one week from May 27. The school’s application against the show cause notices was filed in the main petition challenging DoE’s April 22 finding that its two branches had illegally hiked fees and compelled parents to pay that along with arrears, and its recommendation to lodge an FIR against the management and seal the premises.
