The MP High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the government's decision to reopen schools for a fee of $5,000.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently dismissed a Public Interest Petition (PIL) that questioned the MP State Government's decision to restore schools in the state, along with $5,000 in fees. The case was dismissed by a bench of Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Pranay Verma, who noted that the petitioner, an Advocate, had filed the PIL without doing adequate study and practice in order to garner notoriety.

The Additional Advocate General, speaking for the state government, claimed that the government made a policy decision after considering the relevant facts of the COVID situation in Madhya Pradesh. After hearing both parties' arguments, the Court stated from the outset that the Government is best prepared to choose the manner and techniques of conducting the management and that this is in accordance with the COVID scenario.
