Learned Senior Counsel for the Petitioner contended that the impugned order is not sustainable and suffers from serious error. Learned counsel for Petitioner submitted that the impugned order is only a provisional order passed under Section 6(1) of the Act, which enables the Writ Petitioner school to file their objections before the Committee. Learned counsel for Petitioner further submitted that without affording opportunity as contemplated under Section 6(2) of the Act, the Committee has determined the fee structure for the academic years 2013-14 and 2014-15 also by giving marginal increase which is not the correct approach adopted by the Committee. 7. Writ petitioner school has also interalia raised various contentions alleging as to how the guidelines issued by this Court have not been complied with and the Committee has failed to take into account the actual expenditure incurred by the schools. According to writ petitioner school, since the Committee failed to take into account the actual expenditure incurred by the schools, which caused heavy loss caused to the writ petitioner school which has resulted in serious prejudice to the writ petitioner school in running the school. 8.

Section 6(1) of the Act contemplates that the Committee shall determine the fee leviable by a private school taking into account the factors indicated in Section 6(1) of the Act.

Thereafter, the Committee shall pass the orders fixing the fee to be collected by the schools. 9. Section 6 reads as under:-"Factors for determination of fee. -(1) The Committee shall determine the fee leviable by a private school taking into account the following factors, namely:- (a) the location of the private school; (b) the available infrastructure; (c) the expenditure on administration and maintenance; (d) the reasonable surplus required for the growth and development of the private school; (e) any other factors as may be prescribed.

By perusal of the impugned order, it is seen that the order has been passed under Section 6(1) of the Act. However, instead of giving opportunity to the Writ Petitioner school to file their objections in terms of Section 6(2) of the Act, the Committee had determined the fee structure and proceeded to observe that the Writ Petitioner school should not collect more than the fee fixed. We are of the view that the Writ Petitioner school is entitled to have an opportunity to file their objections in terms of Section 6(3) of the Act. 11. Onbehalf of the Writ Petitioner school, it is stated that the details furnished by the writ petitioner school to the Committee pertains only to the academic year 2013-14 and the Committee has fixed the fee structure for 2014-15 also by giving marginal increase to the fee fixed for the academic year 2012-2013 and it is therefore submitted that if an opportunity was given by the Committee, the petitioner school would have been able to produce the records to show that they are entitled to higher fee in the next two academic years and therefore, the Writ Petitioner school prayed that they may be given an opportunity to go before the Committee and place all the relevant materials. 12. Mr.P.Sanjay Gandhi, learned Additional Government Pleader (Education) fairly conceded that the impugned order is one passed under Section 6(1) of the Act and that the Writ Petition may be disposed of with a direction to the Writ Petitioner school to file their objections within the time stipulated in the Act. 13. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for writ petitioner and also the materials on record, we are of the view that the Writ Petitioner school is at liberty to file their objections before the Committee within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. On filing such objections before the Committee, the Committee is directed to afford sufficient opportunity to the Writ Petitioner school to submit any further details with supporting documents and afford sufficient opportunity to the Petitioner school and pass orders in accordance with law. 14. On filing such objections before the Committee, the Committee is directed to afford sufficient opportunity to the Writ Petitioner school to submit any further details with supporting documents and afford sufficient opportunity to the Petitioner school and pass orders in accordance with law. 14. With the above observation and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. It is made clear that till the Committee passes the final order, the Writ Petitioner school is to collect only the fee fixed by the Committee in the impugned order. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
