The District Permanent Lok Adalat on Wednesday ordered all private schools to display the government-prescribed fee structure on the notice boards and the Chief Educational Officer to monitor the schools for compliance.
The order was issued by the court, headed by Judge A. Jiyaputheen, and comprising members Kumaresan and Pratap Singh, while disposing of a complaint from a parent, Sivakumar, that a private school in the district was insisting on payment of additional fee for his son. He had complained that the CEO had failed to intervene in the issue.
CEO S. Senthilvel Murugan, District Educational Officer S. Raghavan and the principal of the school who appeared before the court agreed to collect only the fees prescribed by the Singaravelu Private Schools Fee Determination Committee.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
