HC dismisses plea, Kankinada school students turn restive

Kankinada school students turned restive in the corridors of Calcutta High Court today after their plea to be allowed to sit for the coming secondary examinations in West Bengal was rejected.
Justice Debasish Kargupta rejected the plea of 410 students of Kankinada Adarsha High School to be allowed to sit for the state Madhyamik (standard X) examination, scheduled to begin from Monday, as they had not received their admit cards from the Board.
The order was passed after the Board lawyers informed the court that the youths were not bonafide students of the school and had no registration with the Board.

The Board counsels submitted that there were 470 valid students of the school who had already received admit cards.
Hearing both the parties, Justice Kargupta dismissed their plea.
At this, the students turned restive in the corridors of the high court and the police were called who dispersed the students from the court building.

They then turned their ire on cars of lawyers parked outside the court and damaged a few of them.
Police sources said that one youth was detained for breaking the windscreen of a car.
He was later released on bail by court bailiffs, they added.
