NEW DELHI, May 5, 2024 (TBINN)
The cost of air conditioning in school has to be borne by the parents as it is a facility being provided to the students, which is no different from the other charges such as laboratory fee, Delhi High Court has said.
A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan dismissed a public interest litigation (P.I.L.) against a private school charging Rs 2,000 per month for the air conditioning in classes and stated that such financial burden cannot be fastened on the school management alone and parents should be mindful of the facilities and their cost while selecting a school.
The petitioner, whose ward studied in class 9 in the private school, argued that obligation to provide air conditioning facilities to the students rests with the management and it should, therefore, be provided by them from their own funds and resources.
