Parents’ body to move HC for probe into CBSE leaks

New Delhi, March 30: Amid a widespread outrage over the CBSE question paper leaks, the All- India Parents’ Association on Friday said it would file a petition in the Delhi high court on Monday seeking a court- monitored probe into the matter.

“Question is now being raised over the examination system being followed,” president of the association and lawyer Ashok Agarwal said.

“We cannot allow this to happen and will be moving a petition in the Delhi HC on Monday for a high court- monitored investigation,” he said.

Mr Agarwal said the petition will also seek a direction from the high court to the CBSE for liberal award of marks for the re- examinations.

Education secretary Anil Swarup on Friday said that the re- examination of the CBSE’s Class 12 Economics paper will be held on April 25, while the re- test for Class 10 Mathematics paper, if required, is likely to be conducted in July.
