The Hindu: New Delhi: Wednesday, January 27, 2016.
Whistle for
Public Interest (WHIP), a group representing public-spirited law students, has
submitted a representation to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)
demanding the supply of answer-sheets to students under the Right to
Information Act, 2005, at the cost of Rs.2 per page instead of an exorbitant
fee of Rs.1,000 per subject, which it is charging at present.
The
memorandum, submitted to CBSE Chairman Y.S.K. Seshu Kumar, pointed out that the
Supreme Court had held in 2011 that every student had the fundamental and legal
right to access his or her answer-sheets under the RTI Act.
The apex
court had held in the case of CBSE vs. Aditya Bandhopadhyay that the answer
book was a document of record.
