Top Court Dismisses Plea Seeking Waiver Of CBSE Exam Fees

CBSE exam 2021: The Supreme Court on Tuesday (November 17) refused to entertain a plea seeking waiver of exam fees for students of classes 10 and 12 in the current academic year. The plea had appealed to the apex court to give a direction to the CBSE board and the Delhi government to exempt the students from paying exam fees.

"How can the court direct the government to do this? You should give a representation to the government... Dismissed," the bench said.

The High Court had asked the AAP government and the CBSE to treat the PIL as a representation and take a decision 'in accordance with law, rules, regulations and government policy applicable to the facts of the case' within three weeks, said PTI.
