Even before the rage against unregulated fee hikes caught the public imagination, Vijay Pakhare had filed a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission against "irrelevant fees" being slapped by Fatima High School in Vidyavihar. Now, after a six-year-long battle, not only has the commission ordered filing of an FIR against the school, but has also directed the additional chief secretary of the home department to pay Pakhare a compensation of Rs 50,000 within six weeks.
