No forcible collection of school fees: Orissa HC
Cuttack: The Orissa High Court Tuesday barred private schools from collecting fees in a forcible manner in the prevailing situation.
A division bench of Chief Justice Mohammad Rafiq and Justice Bishwanath Rath pronounced the order while hearing a case seeking waiver of fees by private schools in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.
The HC order on the school fee will be in force till the next hearing on the case, scheduled for January 7, 2021.
Bibhuti Bhusan Choudhury, counsel for the private school guardians’ association, informed the HC that some private schools were forcing parents to pay the schools fees. These schools were also preventing students from availing online classes and writing exams over non-payment of fees.
