Supreme Court Questions Delhi Government on Timing of Private School Fee Regulation Law Implementation

The Supreme Court questioned the Delhi government on January 19, 2026, about the rushed implementation of the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, which regulates private school fees. While supporting the law's intent, the court noted that enforcing it mid-academic session could cause practical and financial challenges. Petitions by private unaided schools argue the Act conflicts with existing laws and dilutes school management authority. The court emphasized adherence to statutory timelines without halting the legislation.
