New Delhi:
A civil writ petition in the nature of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been moved in Delhi High Court seeking direction to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and others to refund the examination fees to the students registered in Classes 10 and 12 for appearing in Board examinations that have been cancelled for this year.
The petition submits that the Respondent is totally unjustified in keeping the money collected from students as examination fees for Class 10 and 12 board examinations that have got cancelled. It is safe to assume that CBSE has received crores of rupees as examination fees, plea states.

New Delhi, June 27 : Even as the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic across the country is slowly receding with each passing day, the Centre and the state governments have decided not to allow schools to be reopened yet. Experts have now predicted a third wave of the pandemic, however, many students, parents and parent organisations want schools to be opened in such places where the outbreak of Covid-19 is under control.
Ashok Agarwal, All India Parents Association President, told IANS, According to an estimate, nearly 30 per cent of the students studying in government schools are school dropouts . We should not ignore the fact that the best and the safest place for children is school. The closure of schools for a longer period of time has given rise to social evils and other abuses like child labour, sexual harassment, diseases etc.
