Standing counsel appearing for the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangetham submitted that out of 500 students using the bus facility only two students have raised objections and others have agreed. In any case I feel grievance of this nature should be discussed and decided in a General Body Meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association. The Chairman and Principal of the Association is directed to convene a General Body Meeting to specifically discuss the issue on bus-fare-hike wherein petitioners can raise objections and the matter should be discussed and decided in the General Body Meeting within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Principal should issue notice to parents of students using the bus facility informing the date and purpose of meeting fixed for discussion and decision. W.P. is disposed of as above.
