Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the amendments made by the Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education regarding the cancellation of examinations due to mass copying, as outlined in regulations 66(a) and 66(b). The Court emphasized that the Chairman has the authority to cancel examinations based on credible reports of mass copying or interference, provided that such information is verified by experts. The Court affirmed the High Court's directive for a committee to assess the validity of the cancellation, ensuring that due process is followed in determining the sanctity of examinations.
