MINOR SUNIL ORAON TR.GUARDIAN vs C.B.S.E

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the Letters Patent Appeal by the Jharkhand High Court, affirming that students from non-affiliated schools, such as the Cambridge School, cannot claim relief to appear in CBSE examinations. The Court noted that the school's affiliation was granted only after the examination date, thus the students' claims were not valid under the CBSE's Bye-Laws. The ruling emphasized that equitable grounds cannot be invoked for students of unaffiliated institutions, maintaining the integrity of the affiliation process as per the CBSE regulations.
