Pleas Seeking Cancellation Of CBSE Compartment Examination: Live Updates From Supreme Court

Bench to AG: Does this mean, compartment students will not get admission this year and will have to wait for one year.

AG: From 15th August they are planning to conduct the exams. Please add subject to conducive condition.

Bench to AG: What we’re suggesting is after declaring results on 31st a July, you may ask them to confirm if they will take exams. That can then be conducted with these compartment candidates if number is not alot.

Choudhary: This also includes students who couldn’t take exam last year due to medical conditions

Choudhary submits that these marks will effect their admissions abroad.

Bench: Please remember you are representing students who have taken compartment.

Choudhary reads out relevant portion of judgement to talk about ‘test for reasonableness’ 

Choudhary: The exam we are talking about will have no bio bubble, students aren’t vaccinated. If there is a classification between private and regular students, it has to be reasonable.

Advocate Abhishek Choudhury, appearing for the intervenors(and second compartment students of CBSE): Probable window of 15th August- 15th September which has also been stated by CBSE. Problem is yesterday IIT Kanpur came up with study which says third wave may peak in October.

Advocate Abhishek  Choudhary read out relevant portions from last year’s scheme.

Bench: He also pointed out why same analogy can’t be adopted for compartment students. 

Bench; They can appear as private students?

AG: Yes 

Supreme Court Bench asks Attorney Generala  to address problems stated by intervenors appearing for compartment students.

AG: Whenever these exams are held when covid settles, their exams will also be conducted.
