In a significant development, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) recently issued two critical notifications regarding the provisional appearance of Female and/or CWSN Private Category candidates in the 2024 Board Examinations. This decision was based on the orders from the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi under various writ petitions and a letter patent appeal.
Background and Context
According to the notification dated 05.09.2023, candidates who were bona fide residents of the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi were allowed to appear for the Board Examinations provisionally. This directive followed orders from the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in the following cases:
- WPC No. 2830/2024 titled Rakhi Kaur & Ors. vs CBSE & Ors.
- WPC No. 2841/2024 titled Kanishka vs CBSE & Ors.
- WPC No. 2953/2024 titled Muskan vs CBSE & Ors.
- WPC No. 3181/2024 titled Vineeta & Ors. vs CBSE & Ors.
- WPC No. 4379/2024 titled Pavani Alagh vs CBSE & Ors.
- LPA No. 203/2024 titled Sara Sharma vs CBSE & Ors.
The court\’s orders mandated that these candidates must submit a domicile certificate to confirm their bona fide residency in Delhi.
Notification 1: Verification and Action on Domicile Certificates
The first notification emphasizes the mandatory submission of domicile certificates by the candidates. To ensure the authenticity of these certificates, CBSE initiated a verification process. It was found that the domicile certificates submitted by the aforementioned candidates were not issued by the concerned authorities.
Consequently, the results of these candidates were not declared on 13.05.2024 and have been placed under the Result Later (RL) category as per Rule 60 of the CBSE Examination Bye-Laws. These candidates are now required to show cause as to why their candidature should not be cancelled and legal action taken against them for submitting fake certificates. Candidates must submit their replies with supporting documents to the concerned Regional Office by 21.05.2024. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of their candidature.
Notification 2: Results Placed Under Subjudice Category
The second notification addresses the candidates who were allowed to appear provisionally due to being similarly placed as the petitioners in the aforementioned court cases. As per the directions of the Hon’ble Court, the results of these candidates have been placed under the Subjudice (SJD) category. The declaration of their results is contingent upon the final decisions of the respective court cases.
Implications and Next Steps
This development is crucial for candidates and stakeholders involved. It highlights the importance of submitting genuine documents and complying with verification processes. The affected candidates are urged to respond promptly to avoid cancellation and potential legal consequences.
The CBSE\’s actions underscore its commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination process. By ensuring the authenticity of domicile certificates, the board aims to uphold fairness and transparency.
Candidates and their guardians must stay informed about the ongoing court cases and comply with the necessary legal and administrative requirements. The board\’s clear stance on this matter serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to the rules and regulations governing the examination process.
In conclusion, the CBSE\’s notifications are a significant step towards ensuring the legitimacy and fairness of the board examinations. Candidates are advised to take the necessary actions promptly and stay updated with any further developments in their respective cases.
