On Tuesday, the 22nd of June, the Telangana High Court heard a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the Hyderabad School Parents Association, about high fees and online classes in private schools.

The State School Education Department informed the court that it was taking action against schools that are charging high fees.

The Education Department said it had issued notices to schools violating GO 46 and taken explanations.

The State Government informed the High Court that it will take action against schools under the State government within four weeks.

Further, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the International Council of Secondary Education (ICSE) schools would not come under their purview. The Government would bring it to the notice of the concerned boards.

The Telangana High Court, which registered the government interpretation, observed that there was no need for an inquiry into the online lessons as the lockdown has been lifted.

The High Court concluded the trial on the Plea and extended the hearing on the next day.
