The Delhi High Court today asked the Central Board of Secondary Education about its plans, if any, to re-conduct the class 10 Maths test the question papers for which had been leaked recently.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar sought information on possible re-examination for the class 10 Maths paper after CBSE said it was still ascertaining the extent of the leak before announcing the date for the fresh test.
The court put the query to the secondary and higher secondary education regulator while issuing notices to the CBSE and the Centre seeking their stands on a plea for a court- monitored probe into the recent leaks of the Maths and Economics question papers of class 10 and 12, respectively.
During the brief hearing, the bench asked the CBSE as to how could it wait till July to re-conduct the test and keep the students on "tenterhooks" till then.
The court observed that it would not only waste an academic year of the students, but would also be akin to keeping "a sword hanging over their heads."
