SC Adjourns Hearing on Delhi School Fees Law

SC Adjourns Hearing on Delhi School Fees Law

The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing on a new law that controls school fees in Delhi until February 2.

This law, called the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, sets rules on how much schools can charge and what fees are allowed.

Private schools in Delhi are challenging this law.

The court wanted to know why the Delhi government introduced this law in the middle of the school year.

The government said they need more time to discuss and settle the issues, so the court agreed to postpone the hearing.

The high court had already extended the deadline for schools to submit their proposed fees to a committee until February 5.
