Auditor General (CAG) official to appear before it to explain certain
findings in his report indicting 25 private city schools for
accounting lapses and faking losses.
The division bench of Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Siddharth Mridul
said, "Ask the author of the report, Rajvir Singh (accountant general,
audit) of the CAG, to appear and clarify the objections raised by
counsel for the schools on the report".
"He should appear on April 8," said the bench.
"Meanwhile, counsel appearing on behalf of the private schools will
start advancing the remaining arguments on the issue," said the bench.
The bench was hearing a petition filed by NGO Delhi Abhibhavak
Mahasangh, through lawyer Ashok Aggarwal, against the Delhi
government's decision to allow schools to hike the tuition and the
development fees.
Aggarwal said a direction be issued to private schools against any
proposed fee hike as the new academic year was about to commence.
The Delhi government told the court that notices were issued to
schools following their indictment by the CAG report.
The CAG filed a 64-page report before the bench stating that the
schools did not follow the accounting standards while preparing their
final accounts.
"There was no prescribed accounting format," said the report. IANS
