SC Dismisses Plea To Cancel Offline Board Exams To Be Conducted By State Boards, CBSE, ICSE
The SC in its statement said that the plea seeking to cancel the offline Board exams is “ill-advised, premature. Creates False Hope and confusion,” reports Live Law.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has dismissed the plea seeking to cancel offline exams for classes 10 and 12 that are to be conducted soon by State Boards, CBSE, ICSE, and other equivalent boards.
The SC in its statement said that the plea seeking to cancel the offline Board exams is “ill-advised, premature. Creates False Hope and confusion,” reports Live Law.
It added that the authorities are yet to take a decision for the exam in respective boards. If decisions are not in accordance with rules and act it will be open to aggrieved persons to set challenges in that regard, reported LiveLaw.
The plea was rejected by the SC bench led by Justice AM Khanwilkar. It was constituted of Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and CT Ravi Kumar.
The petition filed in the SC sought directions to the CBSE and other boards which have chosen to go for offline exams for classes 10 and 12 to either cancel exams or devise alternative methods.
To this, the SC bench said, we are not passing any directions. Authorities are working in tandem, if they don’t do it comes to us, as reported by Livelaw.
“What kind of PIL is being filed?” Justice Khanwilkar remarked.
He also remarked that such a “situation hasn’t yet arrived. You see you are creating conducive only. Entertaining such petitions is only increasing confusion in the system. What kind of petitions are being folded? Let authorities take decisions.”
He concluded by saying, “This has to stop. Don’t come up again or there will be exemplary costs. Let students & authorities do their job. You can’t PIL like this. Whoever has filed we’re saying for that petitioner.”
