fee case: The Lahore High Court Justice Shams Mahmood Mirza on Tuesday issued notices to government and private schools after observing that the court had stopped the Punjab government from taking coercive measures against private schools and not from implementing the law (Punjab Private Educational Institutions and Regulations (Amendment) Ordinance 2015).
The judge observed this while hearing a petition filed by Civil Society Network challenging a stay order issued in favour of the private schools against implementation of the law on their fee structure. The counsel told the court that the private schools were not following the law and taking undue shelter behind the stay order by misinterpreting it. He pointed out that the schools were not decreasing the fees as received till 2014.
Justice Mirza observed that the court had not granted stay to the private schools against the decreasing the fee but against the coercive measures allegedly taken by the government, including cancellation of their registration.
The judge also issued notices to government and private schools on the petition for November 5.
