A Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice Dinesh Maheshwari is hearing petitions filed by 1152 Class X and Class XII students across the Country  for cancellation of CBSE CLASS XII Compartment/Private/Repeaters examination

The Petitioners have also prayed for a direction to the CBSE Board to arrive at a formula for performance evaluation of the Class XII private / compartment / repeaters students in line with the assessment formula adopted by CBSE and other Education Boards for the regular students and to release the results in a time bound manner.

The petitioners submitted that he CBSE has attempted to give unequal treatment to Private / Patrachar / 2nd chance Compartment candidates of Class X and XII, thereby creating a classification which has no reasonableness, rational and hence, is prima facie, unfair, unjust, arbitrary, and unreasonable and violative of the principles of equality enshrined under Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
