New Delhi [India], May 29 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to Directorate of Education, Delhi government and Action Committee of Unaided Recognised Private Schools on a plea challenging the Delhi High Court orders which allowed private schools on government land to increase tuition fees without prior approval of DoE.
A vacation bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih sought a response from DoE and a school body while hearing a plea filed by Naya Samaj Parents Association.
The petition challenged two orders of the High Court passed in April 2024, by which it allowed private schools on government land to increase tuition fees without prior approval.
The parents' association alleged that now private unaided schools in Delhi have also increased fees multifold, mostly by up to 100 per cent and taken penal actions against students, causing confusion and panic in the Delhi education system.
The petitioner sought to set aside the paragraph of the order by which it said private schools situated on government land are not bound to take prior permission from the DoE before hiking tuition fees.
The plea said the April 2024 orders of the High Court are against the previous directions of the division bench of the High Court and the Supreme Court.
'By setting aside this paragraph, clarity and consistency may be maintained in the application of fee hike regulations for schools on government land,' the petition stated.
The petition also sought a stay of the High Court orders. (ANI)

Iran says U.S. travel ban shows 'deep hostility' for Iranians, Muslims
Iran on Saturday (June 7, 2025) blasted U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban on countries including the Islamic Republic, saying it showed "deep hostility" toward Iranians and Muslims. "The decision to ban the entry of Iranian nationals - merely due to their religion and nationality - not only indicates the deep hostility of American decision-makers towards the Iranian people and Muslims but also violates... international law," a senior Foreign Ministry official said in a ministry statement posted on the X social media platform. Editorial | Insular, paranoid: on Donald Trump, the U.S., legal migration Mr. Trump's proclamation on Wednesday will bar citizens from 12 countries starting on Monday at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 GMT). The countries are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The ban, which Mr. Trump said was necessary to protect against "foreign terrorists", was reminiscent of a similar move he implemented during his first term in office from 2017 to 2021, when he barred travellers from seven Muslim-majority nations.

400 Drones, 40 Missiles: Russia Launches ‘Largest Attack' Yet On Ukraine
New Delhi: Days after Kyiv had carried out Operation Spiderweb targeting the country's strategic cruise missile carriers, Russia, in a response, launched a massive attack on Ukraine, firing over 400 drones and 40 missiles across the country, in what appears to be one of the largest attacks in the three-year war. The attack targeted almost all of Ukraine, with nine regions affected, including Kyiv, Lviv, and Sumy. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that 80 people were injured, and some may still be under debris. Unfortunately, the attack also resulted in at least six deaths, including three firefighters in Kyiv, two civilians in Lutsk, and one person in Chernihiv. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in a post on X said, 'Today, rescue and emergency operations continued all day across various regions and cities of our country. Over 400 drones, more than 40 missiles were launched by the Russians. 80 people were injured, and some may still be under the debris.' He added, 'Unfortunately, not everyone in the world condemns such attacks. This is exactly what Putin exploits. He is buying himself time to keep waging war.' Today, rescue and emergency operations continued all day across various regions and cities of our country. Over 400 drones, more than 40 missiles were launched by the Russians. 80 people were injured, and some may still be under the debris. And unfortunately, not everyone in the… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 6, 2025 After the attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had used more than 400 drones and 40 missiles in the overnight attack, making it among the war's largest. He said Moscow's attack injured 80 and targeted "almost all" of Ukraine, listing nine regions, from Lviv in the west to Sumy in the northeast. Citing CNN, news agency ANI reported that although Russia has pummeled Ukraine almost daily over three years of full-scale war, Ukrainians had been bracing for retaliation since last Sunday, when Kyiv launched an audacious operation that struck more than a third of Russia's strategic cruise missile carriers. During the telephonic conversation with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would have to respond to Kyiv's assault. Russia's Ministry of Defence said its strikes were in response to what it called Kyiv's "terrorist acts." It was not immediately clear if the attack was the extent of Russia's pledged retaliation or if Putin intends to escalate further. After the embarrassment of Kyiv's operation, there was a chorus of bellicose calls from pro-Kremlin pundits for a severe - potentially nuclear - response. Although Ukrainians had been buoyed last weekend by the news of Kyiv's successful operation, many were wary of how Russia might strike back. But after Friday's strikes, Kyiv residents told CNN they supported Ukraine's strikes against the aircraft Moscow has used to bomb Ukraine for more than three years. "It didn't break us at all. The morale is as high as it was. We strongly believe in our armed forces," said Olha, a 39-year-old from the capital who did not wish to give her last name. She said the apparent "retaliation" from Russia was not so different to countless other nights of the war. "Maybe (this was the retaliation), but maybe the retaliation is yet to come. Either way, it doesn't change our attitude towards the enemy or towards our country."
