On Monday, the Delhi High Court mandated that Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka allow 25 students back into classes after their names were removed due to non-payment of fees. Justice Jasmeet Singh expressed strong disapproval of the school's annual practice of taking such actions, indicating that it reflects deeper issues within the institution. The court ordered parents to deposit 50% of the outstanding fees by April 17, 2025, to facilitate the students' return. This ruling follows a petition from parents of over 100 students who claimed the school violated a previous court order by striking off names for non-payment. The court also criticized the Directorate of Education for failing to approve fee increases since the 2015-16 academic year, questioning how the school can maintain educational standards under such constraints. The next hearing is scheduled for August 27.
