The Director v. Adharsh Vidhyalaya Higher
Case brief
What is this about?
In this appeal against a writ order permitting a school to hold exams for the current year despite malpractice allegations, the High Court modified the order. It directed that for future years, such exams must be conducted in different centres within the same city to prevent malpractice, while retaining earlier directives for CCTV installation.
What did the court decide?
The order passed by the learned single Judge was modified to direct that SSLC and Higher Secondary examinations be conducted in different centres but in the same city from the next year onwards.
