Justice Vikas Mahajan ruled that students must pay 50% of the hiked fees for the academic years 2024-25 and beyond. The dispute arose after parents received notifications about expulsion due to fee hikes from ₹7,000 to ₹9,000. Parents alleged coercive collection methods and demanded audits of the school's finances. The court's decision allows students to remain in class while the case is pending.

Hikers Mistake Psychedelic Trip for Tragedy, Call 911 Claiming Friend is Dead

Upon rescue, officials discovered the men were under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms and their friend was actually alive. The forest rangers found the duo in an altered mental state, leading to a confused reunion rather than a tragic recovery. Instead of a funeral, the situation ended with an ambulance call for the two men who mistook their experience for a tragedy.
