PIL was filed in the SC over school fee & fee hike for online classes.

The CJI Bobde said, the problems of each state are different and the matter should have been raised before respective High Court’s

CJI Bobde while observing how a case would be tagged with a pending petition stated that petitioners these days “are invoking the jurisdiction of the court in all matters whether it be education or migrants, like an omnibus jurisdiction. When we don’t pass orders, they are sad”
