Just three days before the commencement of Class XII Board exams, 11 students who were barred by the CBSE from appearing in the exam have got relief from the Delhi High Court which has directed that admit cards and roll numbers should be issued to them immediately.
The students from Daisy Dales Senior Secondary School in south Delhi were barred from appearing in the examination on the ground that they had not passed all the subjects in class XI while they were studying in different schools before joining their present institution.
Accepting the plea of students that they would lose one year in case they were not allowed to appear in the examination, justice S Ravindra Bhat directed the CBSE to issue them admit cards and roll numbers.
‘‘Prima facie, the court is of the opinion that the position of CBSE is such that a re-test under examination bye-law may not be feasible... So, it has been directed to permit the students to appear in the examination,’’ the court said.
The students had informed HC that after clearing class XI papers from various schools, they moved to Daisy Dales Senior Secondary School for class XII in 2008. The students had filled the examination forms in September last year by annexing the documents sent to them by their previous schools and initially, the CBSE accepted them too, their lawyer added. But later CBSE informed the school that these 11 students were not eligible.
