Plea Seeking Cancellation Of CLASS XII Board Examination: Supreme Court Hearing- Live Updates

Bench: In present proceeding we are focusing only on class 12 exams of respective Boards of didf States. Resultantly we don’t wish to entertain grievance of class 11th Kerala exams. Students from Kerala of 11th standard are free to file writ petition before High Court.

Bench: We’ve interacted with Counsels for Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. They’d filed affidavit that Boards have decided to continue exams. For Kerala issue is limited to 11th exams. State of Kerala has already conducted 12th exams

Adv Abhishek Choudhary for class 10 and 12th students from Assam: I suggest if a grievance redressal committee may be formed

Adv Monica Gusian seeks directions regarding uniform formula of assessment.

Bench: We have already made it clear that Boards can have their own scheme.

Bench: 11th standard we are not mixing with 12th. You are making unnecessary arguments. We’ll ask you to go to High Court. We had thought we’d resolve it.

Bench: Point is, fact is that 11th syllabus is complete and you only have to appear in exams. So preparation time given may be enough for you. You can’t say that give us three months. What’s the basis of this suggestion. 

Bench: Time can be give to students, without effecting the class 12th studies. Give us those details tomorrow

Padmanabhan: Digital divide is huge. There wasn’t even a single physical class. The classes were telecasted through a channel!

Bench: He is saying If in the middle they are asked to study for exams they will not be able to focus on class 12th. In the midst of class 12th exams, they’ll be asked to appear in exam for 11th.

Prakash: They’d already prepared

Bench: He has a point that in midst of studying for 12th they’re being asked to appear for 11th. We are suggesting is it’s possible, that 15 days time may be provided for preparation and that be exclusive for preparation. 

Justice Maheshwari: So this result will not have a bearing on your future. Only answer that.

Students are anxious as they are in class 12th now. They have to break that and suddenly study for class 11th now. These marks will be relevant. 

Justice Maheshwari to applicant: The query is, this is class 11th. It’s indicated that this exam can be held even in September or October as it will have mo bearing ok admissions. This will be relevant only after you take 12th exam.
