Supreme Court restrains Karnataka government from declaring results of board exams for classes 8, 9, and 10.
The Supreme Court pulled up the Karnataka government for “harassing” students by conducting board exams for different classes on Monday (October 21, 2024), and restrained it from declaring results of board examinations of classes 8, 9 and 10 till further orders.
A Bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma directed that if the exam has not been conducted in any district, then it shall not be taken.
“Why are you harassing the students? You are the State. You should not behave like this. Don’t make it an ego issue. If you are really concerned about the welfare of students, then please open good schools. Don’t throttle them,” the Bench told senior advocate Devadatt Kamat, appearing for the Karnataka government.
The court said no other State follows this model of education which is being followed by the Karnataka government.
Mr. Kamat said that the State government has withdrawn a circular for conducting board examinations for students of classes 5, 8, 9 and 10 in the current academic year in seven rural districts of the State.
The Supreme Court was told that the examination was conducted in 24 other districts as well.
The top court asked the State government to file an affidavit giving the exact details of the examination in four weeks.
