The Court rejected the Article 19(1)(g) challenge and held that the Act and Rules operate in a different field from the RTE Act. It further held that a COVID-19 fee-reduction direction could not override the statutory scheme under executive, disaster-management or epidemic powers, because fee structures already finalised under the Act could not be unilaterally altered. The order was therefore quashed, with limited fee adjustment directed for the relevant academic year. en-us Mon, 03 May 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 11:26:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296934 Private unaided schools' fee fixation may be regulated to prevent profiteering and commercialization, but the Rajasthan Schools (Regulation of Fee) Act, 2016 and the Rules of 2017 were upheld as a valid regulatory framework, subject to reading down of specified provisions to preserve constitutional balance.
