We have to proceed with security measures, the future of students cannot be at stake. The court also asked the petitioning students, do you want to waste your one year by canceling the examinations?
What happened in the courtroom -
Arguing against the examinations: Advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava, appearing for the students, cited the situation arising out of the corona in front of the bench. He said that when CBSE, ICSE and AIBE can be postponed, why not JEE and NEET. He said that we are not seeking to postpone these examinations indefinitely, but in the current situation, avoiding is the only option.
An argument in favor of examinations: In response to the petition, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on behalf of the National Testing Agency said that if examinations are done according to the prescribed schedule, then all the security measures will be done on our behalf and complete preparation has been done.
Court verdict: After hearing the arguments of both the parties, the court said in clear terms that it is a question of the future of the students. It cannot be placed at stake. The court also advised the petitioner to value his one year while advising the students.
