In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of special leave petitions challenging the Central Board of Secondary Education's examination practices. The petitioner (represented by parents and students) sought uniform question papers and multi-language options for future exams. CBSE conceded that from 2018 onwards, identical question papers would be set for all examinees, available in English, Hindi, and other vernacular languages. The Court accepted this undertaking and disposed of the petitions accordingly, addressing concerns about fairness and accessibility in secondary education examinations.
