India Legal: New Delhi: Tuesday, August 01, 2017.
The Delhi
High Court on Monday (July 31) ruled that the Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE) does fall under the Right to Information Act, especially
vis-à-vis regarding reevaluated answer sheets.
The bench of
Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar was hearing a case
pertaining to the June 30 CBSE notification where they limited the reevaluation
or re-verification to 10 questions and in 12 subjects only. The CBSE had also
excluded four humanities subjects from the reevaluation process.
The bench
observed that the CBSE had no valid reason to avoid revaluated answer sheets to
come under the ambit of RTI. However, the bench still gave the board a week to
submit its reply.
