Pune (Maharashtra) [India], May 29 (NT): The major row erupted as Pune based Zeal Education Society's Dnyanganga School at Hingne has reportedly issued leaving certificate (LCs) to over 150 students who are failed to pay their fees.

The parents of the students have asserted that the school management was overcharging them.

"We paid Rs 30,000 fee and Rs 10,000 as a deposit earlier and asked them to adjust the deposit in the fee but the school is not ready to talk to us," said a parent to ANI.

The school took this alleged decision after the Bombay High Court passed an order following a civil application moved by Zeal Education Society in opposition to the parents of Dnyanganga School who had rejected to pay up.

Worth mentioning here The Bombay high court in its ruling stated that the school management has the right to call off the admission of students in case of non-payment of fees.

Speaking to ANI, Vikram Deshmukh, Legal advisor to Zeal Education Society asserted that the certificate was issued by the school as per the order of the court.

"They paid the amount of Rs 30, 000 in 2016-17 then why they had the problem to pay the fee for 2017-18, we do not understand. The High Court ordered that the school has the right to fix their fees, after which we took the decision," Deshmukh told ANI.

Deshmukh also added that the school even gave the time of 7-day to the parents but they did not respond, consequently they had to take the step. (NT)
