A Delhi high court-appointed committee has indicted 58 more private schools for unjustifiably hiking tuition fees by up to 25% in 2009. After verifying the accounts of 147 schools, the committee in its second report urged the court to direct the managements to refund the increased amount to the parents along with an interest of 9%.


Prominent among the 58 schools asked to refund fees include Delhi Public School, RK Puram. Loreto Convent School, Delhi Cantt and Summer Fields School, Kailash Colony


With the new list, the number of private schools indicted for unjustifiably hiking fees has gone up to 122.



The panel headed by former Rajasthan high court Chief Justice Anil Dev Singh had in its first report submitted in September 2012 hauled up 64 schools for illegally hiking fees after inspecting records of 200 schools and ordered a similar refund.



Apart from the 122 schools indicted for illegal fee hike so far, the panel also found that at least 77 other schools fudged account statements and concealed receipt books making it difficult to ascertain the extent it hiked the fee. Fee hike timeline * A PIL challenged 25% fee hike by schools in 2009

*Govt allowed it to help schools to implement 6th pay commission recommendation

*HC said such blanket permission cannot be allowed and it has to be based on financial health of each school

*HC orders inspection of accounts of all 1,800 private schools

*After first round of inspection an HC panel finds 64 out of 200 schools illegally hiked fees

*After the second round of inspection, the panel found 58 out of 147 schools illegally hiked fees

*Schools asked to refund increased fee to parents with 9% interest



“The greed of substantial number of schools has been uncovered. They capitalized on the government order for unjust enrichment causing great prejudice to students and their parents”, the panel said. The government had allowed the schools to hike the fees to enable them to implement the sixth pay commission report which recommended upward revision of salary of its staff.



The court ordered the inspection of account of all 1,800 private schools in the capital acting on a PIL filed by a parents’ body Delhi Abhibhavak Maha Sangh. Court made it clear that government cannot issue a blanket notification permitting all private schools to hike tuition fees by a certain percentage and it should be based on financial health of each school.



“Panel found 122 schools out of 348 inspected, that is 50% of them, illegally hiked fees. It vindicates our stand that the fee hike was illegal and schools were indulging in commercial exploitation”, said Sangh’s lawyer Ashok Agarwal.



Slamming the government for not having any control over the functioning of the schools, the panel said “regulatory mechanism has been thrown to the winds by Directorate of Education. Schools are behaving in the manner they like. Right from the stage of granting recognition, the lack of supervisory control of the government’s education department is writ large.”
