A three-judge Bench of Justice AM Khanwilkar, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari, and Justice Aniruddha Bose will hear the plea filed by Anubha Shrivastava Sahai.

The Supreme Court of India will hear tomorrow, June 28, a plea seeking its direction for an opt-out option, extra attempt and increased exam centres for the upcoming session of ICAI CA exams. The plea has also sought the top court's direction for postponement of the exam if adherence to Covid protocols can not be ensured. A three-judge Bench of Justice AM Khanwilkar, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Aniruddha Bose will hear the plea filed by Anubha Shrivastava Sahai. The petition has been filed challenging the June 5 notification issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), regarding the conduct of CA exams. The plea has prayed for an extra attempt to Intermediate and Final year students appearing under the old syllabus. It has sought an increase in the number of exam centres. There should be “at least one examination centre in every district in India” and the exam should be conducted in a staggered manner, it said.
