The CBSE was on Wednesday pulled up by the Delhi High Court for causing hardship to students by not notifying on its website that re-evaluation was permissible in all Class XII subjects.
The court’s remarks came after it was told that the Board was reluctant to accept applications for re-evaluation. The court had on July 6 directed the CBSE to re-evaluate answer sheets of all subjects of all students who wrote the Class XII exam this year and sought re-evaluation.
A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar said, “Why did you not post our order online on your website? You gave the students only one day’s time [on July 7] to apply for re-evaluation without even informing them about our decision [of July 6].”
The court was hearing a plea filed by four students against the CBSE’s June 28 notice on re-evaluation.
