A private school in Delhi’s Mayur Vihar struck off four Class 12 students over non-payment of fees after parents refused to pay the hiked amount.
A private school in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar has struck off the names of four Class 12 students over non-payment of fees, parents alleged.
According to the parents, they had refused to pay the hiked fee demanded by the school. Following this, they received a notice stating that the names of their children had been removed from the school rolls under provisions of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973.
There was no immediate response available from the school on the matter.
In a notice dated March 7, the school informed parents that the students’ names would be removed from the rolls with effect from March 9 if the outstanding dues were not cleared.
The school cited Rule 35 of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973, which allows institutions to strike off the name of a student in case of non-payment of fees.
The notice also stated that unaided recognised private schools do not require prior approval from the Director of Education before fixing fees for an academic year, and referred to various court judgments.
