The Delhi High Court has permitted students of Delhi Public School, Dwarka, to continue attending classes despite their names being struck off for non-payment of increased fees. 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.
