The plea said that if the respondent state board for higher and secondary education is going to conduct an examination for class 12, which it has postponed, with nearly 14 lakh students appearing for it, there is no justification for cancelling class 10 SSC exam. Similar is the situation for ICSE and CBSE boards, so there is no justification for cancelling class 10 exams, the plea said.
