The Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to stay a clause in a circular issued by Directorate of Education (DoE) on guidelines for implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations in private unaided schools in the city.
The court declined interim relief sought by an association of 500 private unaided recognised schools here to stay the circular, which states that if a school’s managing committee feels it is necessary to increase tuition fee it shall hold a meeting with a group of teachers and parents, including at least one parent representative from each section of the school, and present its detailed budget. Justice Indermeet Kaur said the court was not inclined to grant the stay on the October 17 circular and issued a notice to DoE seeking its response before February 5, the next date of hearing.
