it added.<\/p>\n<p>Vats submitted that during the lockdown period, students of private schools in Delhi ought not to be made to pay the transport charges, the fee for extra-curricular activities and other fees which are charged by schools since they are not functioning.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Ramesh Singh, appearing for the Delhi government, told the court that the government is fully conscious of the issues raised by the petitioner and the Directorate of Education has already passed an order on April 17, 2020, to the effect that no fees except tuition fee be charged.Singh said that various directions issued in the said order are relied upon to submit that the government is fully conscious of such students who may have financial difficulties and course material and classes have been made available even to them.<\/p>\n<p>The court observed that the authorities have already barred the charging of any fees except tuition fees and those students who are unable to pay school fee due to financial crisis, course-work and other material is being made available to them. Such students are also permitted to avail of online classes.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court said that the schools cannot deny access to online classes and other educational facilities due to the non-payment of fees and added that schools are also not permitted to charge any new head of fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with a petition seeking directions to private schools in the national capital to suspend fees charged under various heads, other than the tuition fee, for the month of April, May and June on account of COVID-19 pandemic, observing that the authorities have taken cognizance of the issue [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[85],"tags":[255,46775],"class_list":["post-59415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporate-law-news","tag-delhi-high-court","tag-school-fees-during-lockdown"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Delhi High Court refuses to interfere with School Fees during Lockdown. - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Delhi High Court has refused to interfere with a petition seeking directions to private schools in the national capital to suspend fees charged under - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
