NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has adjourned the AP inter exams 2021 hearing for tomorrow. The court has said that the matter must be examined by the authorities before taking a decision.
As per the Live Law tweet, the bench said, “All this must’ve been examined by authorities before taking decision. We will see the snapshot. Each day is important. We’ll have it tomorrow.”
The bench is also not convinced of the commitment of allowing 15 students in one room for writing the exam. The court said, “The commitment that board is making, we are not convinced with that. 15 students in one room, you will need 35,000 rooms!”
“Unless we are convinced you are geared up to take exams without any fatality we won’t permit you to go ahead and conduct exams,” the bench further added.
The Supreme Court has also advised the AP Board to take help from CBSE and ICSE board and the UGC if required. The board can adopt some evaluation formula based on their advice, it added.
“Even one fatality the board will be made responsible,” the bench reiterated.
A vacation bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice Dinesh Maheshwari will discuss the matter tomorrow again.
