Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether students from non-affiliated institutions can be allowed to appear for examinations conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and receive certificates. The Court held that the High Court's interim order permitting such students to appear and receive certificates was justified under the circumstances, emphasizing the need for compassion towards students. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to modify the conditions attached to the certificates issued to these students, allowing them to receive their certificates despite the lack of affiliation of their institutions.
