CBSE Board Exams 2021: The Supreme Court on November 17, 2020, refused to entertain a plea seeking a direction to CBSE and the Delhi Government to waive CBSE Class 10 and CBSE Class 12 board exam fees in the current academic year amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. According to the official reports, a bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, R Subhash Reddy and M R Shah dismissed the petition filed by NGO 'Social Jurist' against the September 28 order of the Delhi High Court. The council is asked by the Supreme Court Bench to approach the appropriate authority. "How can the court direct the government to do this? You should give a representation to the government...Dismissed," the bench said.
Earlier, the Delhi High Court asked the AAP government and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to treat the PIL filed by the NGO as a representation and take a decision "in accordance with law, rules, regulations and government policy applicable to the facts of the case" within three weeks.

Last year, CBSE released CBSE 10th Date Sheet and CBSE 12th Date Sheets in January and conducted the exams in February-March. Citing safety concerns due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many also asked the board to postpone exams.
