New Delhi: A PIL has been moved in the Delhi High Court asking directions to the AAP government to take action against the private schools. The national capital is allegedly overcharging fees and denying online classes to students during the current pandemic.

The petition was listed for hearing by the Anti-Corruption Council of India Trust, on Monday before a bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Prateek Jalan which could not take it up due to paucity of time and adjourned it to December 9. The Trust, represented by advocate Ashok Kumar Singh, has claimed that according to news reports several schools are allegedly collecting fees under various elements, other than tuition fees, and are denying access to online classes to those students who are unable to pay the amounts demanded.

It has claimed that according to the Delhi Parents Association there are 76 private schools that are in violation of the Delhi government's direction.
