HYDERABAD, Aug 15: The Sindh High Court, Hyderabad circuit bench, on Thursday issued notices to the executive district officer, education, principal, Government Girls College, Qasimabad, and the AAG, Sindh, on a constitutional petition filed by a school student.

Advocate Amjad Sehto represented the petitioner.

The student said she had passed the matriculation examination and added that in order to get admission she went to the Government Girls College, Qasimabad, where she was told by the administration that admission fee was Rs1,810, including computer fee of Rs1,000.

She told the court that on inquiry she came to know that there was no computer laboratory or equipment in the college and no teacher was appointed for computer training but the college was demanding Rs1,000 as computer fee.

She said most of the students could not afford expenses of education as they belonged to poor families.

The student said the EDO, education, had made it mandatory that every student must pay the computer.

She said when subject like physics and chemistry were being taught without any additional fee why separate fee was being charged for computer despite the fact that there was no laboratory or trained teacher.

She prayed the court to issue directives to the principal of the college not to charge computer fee.

The court issued notices to the respondents for Aug 20.
