CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Delhi High Court expressed strong dismay over Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka for allegedly deploying bouncers to block students amid an ongoing fee dispute. The court was hearing a petition filed by parents who claimed their children were denied entry to the school premises due to non-payment of increased fees. Shocked by the use of private security personnel to intimidate students, the High Court criticized the school administration’s harsh response to a civil matter involving families and education.
The judges emphasized that educational institutions must operate with compassion and understanding, especially when dealing with children’s rights and access to learning. The court questioned the rationale behind using forceful methods instead of seeking a peaceful resolution or engaging in dialogue with the parents. It also reminded the school that education is a fundamental right and should not be obstructed due to financial disputes.
A notice has been issued to the school authorities demanding an explanation, and further hearings are scheduled. The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media and among education rights activists, raising broader concerns about school fee structures, student welfare, and accountability of private institutions in India.
