High Court heard Parents and School arguments and asked State Govt. Lawyer on whether detailed reply filled by state on order issued dated 05th Oct 2017. State representative accepts for no reply filled by them on order issued to them on 05th Oct 2017. High court issued order including following point:
“It appears that on the next date when the matter was taken up on 04.12.2017, the Court was informed that certain Government Orders were issued in respect of controlling the fee charged by private institutions which were engaging attention of the Court in Writ Petition No. 33818 of 2009. Accordingly, this matter was connected with the other pending petition.
It appears that though in Writ C No. 33818 of 2009, parties have exchanged their affidavits, but a detailed counter-affidavit, as was required by this Court vide order dated 05.10.2017, on various aspects culled out in the order, has not yet been filed by the State-respondents. Accordingly, this Court considers it appropriate that this petition along with connected matters be listed on 05.02.2018. By which date, an officer not below the rank of an Additional Secretary in the Primary Education Department of the State of U.P. shall file an affidavit disclosing what action the State has taken to comply with the mandate of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 as also Article 21-A of the Constitution of India.
