Srinagar, Mar 26: High Court has sought information from the Government with regard to the hike in transport fee by the Fee Fixation Committee (FFC).
The FFC ordered a 12 percent hike in the transportation fee of the Private School while the private Schools are not satisfied with the hike and have approached court for its enhancement.
The division bench of Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey and Justice Mohan Lal is hearing the plea filed by the Private Schools Association seeking enhancement in transportation fee hike.
The counsel appearing for Private Schools Association submitted before the court that the petition can be disposed of with the direction to Chairman FFC to take final decision in the transport fee hike after hearing all the members of the Association and pass appropriate orders thereafter.
The DB, however, before proceeding in the matter on these submissions sought instructions with regard to suggestions made by the Association-counsel.
The Petitioner-Association has challenged the order no. 01-FFRC of 2022 dated 09.03.2022 and the order no. DSEK/GS/54/Misc/2022/2582 dated 14.03.2022 issued by Director, School Education Kashmir.
