Supreme Court Supports Delhi School Fee Law but Questions Mid-Session Implementation

The Supreme Court of India has supported the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, acknowledging that private school fees in Delhi are high and regulation is needed. However, the court expressed concerns about implementing the law mid-academic session, deeming it potentially unviable and confusing. It advised the Delhi government to consider deferring enforcement to April 2026 to ensure proper committee formation and adherence to statutory timelines. The court is hearing petitions from private school associations challenging the law's timing and implementation.
