“Each school is to be assessed separately and for this purpose, the committee has to consider the information as the schools may submit on the prescribed Performa,” said an order, issued by the committee, headed by Justice Hakeem Imtiyaz Hussain as Chairman and comprising of Shaleen Kabra, Kaneez Fatima and Showkat Ahmad as members.
Observing that case of each school is to be taken up and consider separately as the each institution may have its own grounds for such increase, the committee also advised the schools to expedite filling of the information for considering regulation of their fee structure.
