The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered to halt the board examinations conducted by the Karnataka govt for grades 5,8 and 9,affiliated with the state board until the division bench made a decision. This is the second time that the exams have been halted
So as of now exams are postpones for std 5, 8 & 9
The Court allowed the appeals filed by organisations of private schools and parents challenging the interim order passed by a division bench of the Karnataka High Court on March 7 staying a single bench judgment which quashed the Government’s decision to hold board exams for Classes 5, 8,9 and 11.
The Supreme Court set aside the interim order of the High Court division bench and asked it to decide the main appeals expeditiously. As exams for Class 11 are already over, the Supreme Court’s intervention effectively puts on hold exams being conducted in the state for Classes 5, 8 and 9 in schools affiliated to the State Board
