Delhi High Court Asks School To Restore Class X Student’s Admission After Advocate Offers Fee Support

The Delhi High Court directed a private school to restore the admission of a Class X student whose name was struck off over unpaid fees. 

Justice Vikas Mahajan appreciated Advocate RK Kapoor, who volunteered to contribute ₹2.5 lakh after learning about the family’s financial hardships. 

The student’s father had lost his job and couldn't pay the remaining dues. The Court requested the school to treat Kapoor’s payment as a full and final settlement for all outstanding fees for 2025–26 and withdraw the removal order. 

The Court clarified that this relief was granted based on the peculiar facts of the case and shall not operate as a precedent.
