New Delhi: Private unaided schools in Punjab can collect 100 per cent fees during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Supreme Court has ruled.
A bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari passed the order while hearing a petition by Independent Schools Association Chandigarh regarding the payment of school fees during the pandemic on Friday.
The order is in line with the top court’s earlier ruling in the Gandhi Sewa Sadan Rajsmand vs. State of Rajasthan case last month.
“The interim arrangements directed vide order dated 08.02.2021 passed in Gandhi Sewa’s case (Supra) shall apply to petitioner — Independent Schools Association Chandigarh (Regd.) in the state of Punjab as well,” the SC order read.
Earlier on February 9, the apex court had allowed private unaided schools in Rajasthan to collect 100 per cent school fees amid the pandemic through six monthly instalments from March 5, 2021 onwards.
