The plea filed in the Supreme Court has asked for the CBSE and CISCE notifications of April 14,16 and 19, to be set aside with respect to clauses dealing with the postponement of the Class 12 board examination.
Advocate Mamta Sharma has filed the petition, asking the court to frame an objective methodology for the declaration of Class 12 results within a specific time frame. "In view of the unprecedented health emergency and rising numbers of the Covid-19 cases in the country, the conduct of examination, either offline or online or blended in upcoming weeks is not possible, and delay in the examination will cause irreparable loss to the students as time is the essence in taking admission in higher education courses in foreign universities," the plea said.
