The Supreme Court will hear on Wednesday a petition against the holding of physical board examinations for classes 10 and 12 in 2022.
The case will come up before a Bench led by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar.
In an urgent oral mentioning before Justice Khanwilkar's Bench, advocate Prashant Padmanabhan, for petitioner Anubha Srivastava Sahai, said physical classes were not conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The danger of a spike in cases could not be ignored though the situation had improved. Mr. Padmanabhan recalled that the Supreme Court had cancelled the physical examinations last year and directed the authorities to devise an alternative assessment mechanism.
