The Bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna begins hearing.

Counsel for the petitioner: Main grievance in the matter is that the main exam and the CBSE has not yet asserted why the compartment exam cannot be cancelled.

Petitioner: The students will ultimately come in the category of failed students since exams will not be able to be conducted by September and the students will not be able to apply for further studies.
