The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed a petitioner seeking rules and regulations to monitor private coaching classes in the state to submit a detailed and comprehensive representation before the Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Bhopal, while ordering the latter to take a decision on the same within six months.
The Jabalpur Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Mohammad Rafiq and Justice Vijay Kumar Shukla disposed of a petition on September 20, with liberty to the petitioner to submit a detailed and comprehensive representation before the Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Bhopal by suggesting some system to check, control and monitor the private coaching classes in the state.
“The said authority, after consulting all stakeholders in the matter, shall take a decision on the representation of the petitioner in accordance with law within a period of six months from the date of submission of representation,”
-the Court ordered.
The PIL, filed by Manish Sharma and others in 2013, prayed for further direction to take appropriate action against the private coaching classes, which are run in the state illegally, without providing any facilities and charging fees as per their choice by giving captious advertisements. No reply has been filed by the respondents/state, till date.
