At the beginning of every school term, parents across Hyderabad stage protests over the massive hike in fees by private schools (strangely named "public" schools) in the city. Several accusations fly back and forth and parents complain incessantly but usually cough up the high fees. Recently, a Hyderabad High Court bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosale and Justice A V Sesha Sai, expressed shock over some private schools collecting a One Time Fee (OTF) of up to Rs 7 lakh. The Hyderabad Schools Parents Association filed a PIL stating that this OTF was being collected over and above the regular fee in schools. Reacting to the PIL, Justice Bhosale said, "There is a need to bring in a regulatory mechanism to stop this ridiculous practice of OTF."
