Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is not obligated to allow re-evaluation or inspection of answer-books as per its Bye-laws, specifically Bye-law No. 61, which restricts candidates to verification of marks only. The Court found that the provisions of Section 8(1)(e) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, which protects fiduciary relationships, were applicable in this case. Consequently, the Court upheld CBSE's decision to deny the request for re-evaluation and inspection, affirming the legality of the Bye-laws and the rejection of the petitioner's claims.
