All the schools across the state now have to adhere to the 15% ratio of the total fees charged during the Covid era and adjust it in future semesters. The court stated that students who have dropped out of school would refund their payments to their parents. On January 6, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice JJ Munir heard the public interest litigation filed by petitioner Adarsh Bhushan and other petitioners.Petitioner's lawyer argued that the fee is a question of quid pro quo (legal maxim), meaning; a benefit received in exchange for another benefit. According to the petitioner's lawyer, charging even a single rupee above the tuition fee charged by private schools is nothing more than profiteering and the commercialization of education because, during 2020-2021, private schools only provided online tuition as a service.To further strengthen their argument, the petitioners' lawyer quoted the recent judgment given by the Supreme Court in India School, Jodhpur, and another Vs.
