Sikri and Justice Sidhharth Mridul has fixed March 29 for hearing the plea that challenges the Delhi government&#8217;s decision to allow the schools to hike tuition and development fees.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel Ashok Aggarwal, representing the Delhi Abhibhavak Mahasangh, sought criminal investigation by an agency like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into alleged irregularities pointed out by the CAG in the report.<\/p>\n<p>Aggarwal said: &#8216;The CAG report reveals not only several accounting malpractices but commission of criminal offences. Some agency like the CBI be asked to investigate into it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The schools did not follow the accounting standards while preparing their final accounts. There was no prescribed accounting format,&#8217; said the 64-page CAG report submitted to the bench Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The report for 2006-09 was filed on the court&#8217;s direction over a parents association&#8217;s petition that questioned the Delhi government&#8217;s sanction to the private schools to hike their tuition and development fees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There was no evidence of scrutiny of annual accounts and other returns to ascertain that the receipts and expenditures of the schools were in consonance with the projected budget estimates of the schools and any fee hike was not unreasonable,&#8217; read the CAG report.<\/p>\n<p>The audit report was against the accounts of only 25 of the 1,211 private city schools.<\/p>\n<p>The CAG said the schools, which earned profits, prepared accounts showing losses by transferring the surplus funds into the next financial year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The total cumulative revenue surplus as on March 31, 2009, was Rs.93.79 crore and the average cumulative revenue surplus per school during 2004 to 2009 ranged from Rs.2.51 crore to Rs.4.42 crore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Schools build up deficits when they overspend their budgets and carry forward the overspend to future years,&#8217; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>It suggested proper monitoring by the government of the accounts of the schools which were not only shying away from giving admission to poor children but also paying salaries to their staff and teachers on the lines of their counterparts in government schools.<\/p>\n<p>The CAG also pointed out lapses of chartered accountants who audited the accounts of the schools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Our scrutiny of audited accounts of the unaided private schools revealed that none of the auditors had qualified the audit reports in significant cases of non-compliance with the directions of the DoE and provisions of the DSE (Delhi School Education) rules by the schools.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As this amounts to professional lapse, the matter may be taken up with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for suitable deterrent action,&#8217; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The schools had recently enhanced fees by 15 percent without assessing the actual requirement, it said, adding the parents were not apprised of the actual demand arising out of the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission.<\/p>\n<p>They should have first considered their surplus money and then, if required, raised the fees, it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi&#8217;s directorate of education (DoE) Friday informed the Delhi High Court that notices have been sent to 25 private schools in the city over fee hike.
