Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the extent to which unaided private institutions can be regulated under the Delhi School Education Act, 1973. It held that while the Act provides a framework for the recognition and management of schools, specific provisions such as Section 5's second proviso exempt unaided minority schools from certain regulations. The Court clarified that there are no explicit regulations governing fee structures for unaided recognized schools, thus affirming the autonomy of such institutions in determining their management and financial operations.
