Delhi HC Seeks DoE, LG Response on Minority Schools' Fee Hike Challenge

• Delhi High Court sought responses from DoE and LG on petitions by minority schools challenging fee regulation law.
• The petitions contest the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, and its rules.
• The Act mandates government approval for fee increases in private schools through a transparent, three-tier committee system.
• Minority schools argue the Act violates Article 30 of the Constitution, which grants them the right to administer educational institutions.
• The court extended deadlines for committee formation and fee proposal submissions; next hearing is March 12.
