All India Parents Association to move Delhi High Court against CBSE board exam paper leak

The All India Parents Association on Monday is expected to file a petition in the Delhi High Court on Monday seeking a court-monitored probe into the paper leak of CBSE Class X and XII papers. "The leaks have rocked the confidence of parents and students. Question is now being raised over the examination system being followed," president of the association and lawyer Ashok Agarwal said. "We cannot allow this to happen and will be moving a petition in the Delhi High Court on Monday for a high court-monitored investigation," he said. CBSE re-exam dates: Class 12th Eco on April 25, Class 10th Maths decision in 15 days - official update

Agarwal said the petition will also seek a direction from the High Court to the CBSE for the liberal award of marks for the re-examinations. Education Secretary Anil Swarup on Friday said that the re-examination of the CBSE's Class 12 economics paper will be held on April 25, while the re-test for Class 10 mathematics paper, if required, is likely to be conducted in July. Delhi police is already conducting a probe into the CBSE question paper leaks.

Agarwal said since differently-abled students will be greatly impacted by appearing for the re-examinations, the association would also seek a direction for "special considerations" for them which could be in the form of certain relaxations.
