The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Centre and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to treat as representation a petition seeking dispensing with physical exams for Class 10 and 12 board examinations due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.
A Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh clarified to the petitioners — parents’ association of a private school here — that it was not going to entertain the plea. The Bench suggested that either a representation be moved before the Centre and the CBSE or the plea be withdrawn; else, it will dismiss it with costs.
Following this, counsel for the parents’ association said the plea be treated as representation.
The High Court said a practicable decision should be taken soon. .
