SC rejects plea seeking cancellation of board exams for Class 10, 12

The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking cancellation of offline exams for Class 10 and 12 to be conducted by all state boards, CBSE, ICSE and National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). Rejecting the appeal, the bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar observed that such petition creates “false hope” and



“confusion” all over.

“This creates not only false hopes, it creates confusion all over to students who are preparing,” said the bench, also comprising Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and C T Ravikumar.

“Let the students do their job and let the authorities do their jobs,” the bench observed.
