CBSE class 12 results re- evaluation

The CBSE to re-evaluate the answer sheets of all the subjects, asked by the Delhi High Court. Re-evaluation should be done to the students who wrote the class 12 examination this year and seek re-evaluation.  Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the CBSE for re-evaluation.

The CBSE has been governed to give the benefit of the scheme of scrutiny to the students. The students who have a grievance that their answer books have not been checked as per the marking scheme is well benefited.

A bench of acting chief justice Gita Mittal and justice C Hari Shankar in High court said that the relief is not confined only to the petitioners before it. And also shall be admissible to all the similarly situated students who seek a re-evaluation of their answer sheets.

And also Bench of acting of High Court said that the CBSE shall conduct the re-evaluation of the answer sheets of the petitioners as have been applied for by them that too without the prohibition contained in condition numbers (i), (iii), (vii) of the notice dated 28^th June of this year. CBSE should accept all the applications for re-evaluation in all the subjects which the petitioners may apply for and conduct the re-evaluation forthwith.

The court’s direction came on an appeal filed by four students against the CBSE’s 28^th June notice imposing conditions that the right of applying for scrutiny was limited to twelve subjects only and only up to 10 questions per subject. The notice had also said that a revised mark sheet would be issued only if the marks are increased by five or were reduced by one.

These are the conditions of three which the High court said will never apply when a student seeks a re-evaluation of the student’s answer sheets. The twelve subjects are English core, English Elective, English Elective (NCERT), Hindi core, Hindi Elective, mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business Studies, and Accountancy.

In the notice, the statement of seeking re-evaluation was not written. CBSE issued the notice of the students who were the petitioners, in pursuance to a statement before the High Court during the hearing of a batch. The appeal aggrieved students could now approach the board under its verification scheme. The bench of High Court on 23^rd of June had disposed of the petitions. It is the submission made by the CBSE. However, the students of four again moved the high court on the ground that the stipulations in the notice were in blatant violation of the statement made before the court.

High court counsel told to their bench that the CBSE had misled the court into disposing of the writ petitions in terms of the statement of fact. The petitioners have made a case out for a grant of interim orders. The bench observed this and took a note of this. It said that it cannot be denied grave and irreparable damage and a loss would be ensured to the petitioners so far as their admissions to colleges and universities are very concerned. Petitioners have the favor of a balance of convenience.

The Bench of acting chief justice noted in its 10- page order that the relief has to be dispensed to all the students who have undertaken the class 12 board examinations and for seeking re-evaluation. CBSE and Delhi University on the appeal and sought their replies and gave answers with in ten days, the court issued notices regarding this. This matter is now fixed for further hearing on 26^th July 2017.
