D.A.V.COLLEGE MG.COMMIT.TR.REGL.DIRECTOR vs LAXMINARAYAN MISHRA .

The Supreme Court upheld the Orissa High Court's decision that DAV Public Schools, despite being private unaided institutions, are governed by the Orissa Education Act, 1969, which mandates that their fee structures must align with state policy decisions. The Court emphasized that the revised fee structure proposed by the appellant was not approved by the State Government and could not be justified based on the facilities provided. The Court directed the establishment of an Interim Committee to evaluate the financial implications of implementing the 6th Pay Commission recommendations, ensuring that any fee increase is determined without prejudice to the ongoing appeal.
