SC: Why not supplementary exams?

New Delhi April 19. Keeping in mind the career of thousands of students who could not appear in the Higher Secondary and Senior Secondary examinations due to the prevailing tension, the Supreme Court today asked the Gujarat Government why supplementary tests could not be held for them in June. Hearing a petition filed by the Lok Adhikar Sangh, a Bench comprising Justice B.N. Kirpal and Justice Arijit Pasayat asked the Gujarat Secondary Education Board to tell the court on April 26 ``whether supplementary examinations can be held in two months time''.

When Board's counsel, P.H. Parikh, tried to explain the difficulty in holding the examinations at a short notice, the Bench said, ``please consider the career of the students. If you do not do it, we are going to direct you to hold supplementary examinations for the students.'' However, on the request of Mr. Parikh, the Bench allowed time till Friday to the Board to put forth its stand on holding supplementary examinations.— PTI
