The Department of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) already announced the results of the board exams for classes 5, 8, and 9 on Monday, just before the Supreme Court’s interim stay. Now, the department has decided to take legal opinion from the Advocate General for the next course of action.
Ritesh Kumar Singh, Principal Secretary, DSEL, told The Hindu: “Exams for classes 5, 8, and 9 were over and the results were declared on Monday. Schools were closed and the academic year of 2023-24 also ended on Monday. We can’t reopen the schools because of the Supreme Court’s interim stay. We will take the Advocate General’s advice on the next step.”
