In her petition, the student’s mother, Payal Bahl submitted that while students have been declared as “Pass” after the announcement of the cancellation of CBSE 10^th examinations, CBSE has not issued any notification regarding its policy on how marks are to be awarded to private students in order to release CBSE 10^th Results 2021. Payal contended, “CBSE’s attitude towards the students who are privately enrolled in class 10 examination is “prima facie violative of the Article 14 of the Constitution of India” and takes away their equal opportunity of proceeding with further education.”
