Chandigarh, Jul 1 (UNI) Punjab Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Wednesday said state government would appeal to the double bench of Punjab and Haryana High Court against the decision of single bench regarding collection of fees by private schools for the period of lockdown/curfew.
During a press conference held at his office here, Mr Singla said the Punjab Government respects the decision of the High Court but in view of the adverse impact on the occupation and livelihood of the people and economic distress due to lockdown/curfew, the state government will appeal to the double bench of the Court to reconsider its decision.
He said the High Court in its judgment has accepted five arguments of the Punjab Government and which arguments were not accepted by the court, would be further submitted for reconsideration of the Court.
