NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on April 29 dismissed a plea for the postponement of CA intermediate and final exams —slated to be held between May 2-17 —in view of the ongoing seven phased General Elections.
A three member Bench headed by Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud and comprising justices, JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra held that accepting the submission of petitioners would be prejudicial to the interests of the 4.36 lakh students who are already enrolled for the exams. “Scheduling of examinations essentially pertains to the policy domain”, it added.
The SC Bench noted there are 591 examination centres and these are spread across not only the cities but other parts of the country too. “At this stage where 4.36 lakh candidates have been enrolled for the examination, grant of any relief would cause grave prejudice to them”, Chandrachud said.
