A Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora rejected the plea,m observing that the costs of AC services provided to the children in school have to be borne by parents because it is no different from other charges such as lab fee and smart class fee levied by school.
“The parents while selecting the School have to be mindful of the facilities and the cost of the facilities provided to the children in the School. The financial burden of providing such facilities cannot be fastened on the school management alone,” the Court said.
It further noted that the Department of Education (DoE) is seized of the matter and is awaiting the action taken report.
“We are therefore, not inclined to entertain the present PIL and the same is dismissed,” the Bench ordered
