The Supreme Court last week upheld the decision passed by the Bombay
high court in April directing the state government to reimburse
students belonging to the Schedule Class and Schedule Tribe category
studying in private un-aided schools.
The court also directed the state to form a committee of ministers to
look into the issue of reimbursing the entire education fees of these
students.
A division bench of chief justice Mohit Shah and Justice GS Godbole,
were informed by the petitioners that the appeal filed by the state
government against the April 28, order of this court, directing the
state to make interim payments of Rs100 to Rs200 to backward class
students has been dismissed.
Justice Shah, noted that "There is no question as to whether the fees
will be reimbursed or not it is at what rate will the state do it is
the question now." The schools which have been seeking fees from the
parents until the state reimburses, said that "Our fees are much
higher than what has been allowed as an interim relief to the
students. The parents should pay the difference, to us by then."
The bench also agreed with the school and suggested that the students
should pay up some amount until the final hearing of the petition. The
bench was hearing a petition filed by Naresh Gosaviclaiming that since
the government failed to disburse grant to private aided and unaided
schools under the free education scheme, their children were not
permitted to attend classes.
