SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO STAY DELHI HIGH COURT ORDER ALLOWING PRIVATE SCHOOLS IMPOSE ANNUAL FEES AND DEVELOPMENT CHARGES

Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the Delhi High Court order allowing private schools in Delhi to impose annual fees and development charges on students.

A bench headed by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar did not agree with the submission of the Directorate of Education of the Delhi government that the order to be stayed for the time being to give relief to the parents of students.

The Supreme court told that however that all the disagreements of the Delhi government would remain open for a formal judgment by the division bench of the high court as the dismissal of the plea here was not on priority.

The Delhi government filed the intra-court appeal before the division bench of the high court and was resenting on not staying the single judge bench verdict.
