NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay a Karnataka high court order allowing the government to conduct board exams for students of Classes 5 and 8 studying the state board syllabus. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala, however, agreed to hear on March 27 a plea filed by associations of unaided private schools against the High Court order.
The matter was mentioned before the bench seeking an urgent hearing. "Let's not interfere with the high court order. The high courts know what is best in that state," the bench said and added that it does not want any uncertainty to prevail.
