The bench noted that persons who recover from Covid may have long-term problems due to which they may not be able to appear for the exam. “General policy may be adopted where an authorised agency can certify that he/she is not able to appear in exam,” the bench said.
The bench told ICAI counsel that they can take certificate as a valid certificate in place of RT-PCR test so that the candidate can take the next exam. “RT-PCR test is no test. Some negative persons were actually positive. Evolve a policy that one can certify why one could certify why one could not appear,” the bench added.
