The Supreme Court declared that the schools erected on public land need to take the approval of the Delhi government to increase the fee. There are more than 400 private unaided schools in Delhi and it is a major shock to all of them. Since the new fee structure by private schools are going to be announced this decision seems to hold more significance because of its timing. The nursery admission is also been kept pending for the announcement of the new fee structure.
Chief justice of India J S Khehar headed the bench that passed this order. It said that the private schools which do not follow this decision on fee hike would have to shut down and vacate the places immediately. This decision is based on the agreement made by over 400 schools with the Delhi Development Authority and the Land and Development department, As per the agreement a prior permission for enhancing the fee have to be taken from Delhi government’s Directorate of Education
It has been observed that many schools have been disobeying the agreement and therefore quite a number of PILs were filed in the Delhi High Court. In January 2016 the High Court made the decision that private unaided schools cannot hike fee without a prior approval of the Directorate of Education. Group of two societies managing private unaided schools had appealed against this decision in the Supreme court but the court found this decision ‘100% correct’ and thus dismissed the petition made by them.
