A child's rights activist submitted the petition, requesting that every student must be evaluated internally. The plea was however dismissed, clearing the way for CBSE, ICSE, and State Board Exams in 2022.

What types of petitions are being filed, and how much exposure is being given? This has to come to an end. If you come up again, you'll pay a hefty price. Allow students and officials to carry out their duties. We're stating for that petitioner, whoever has submitted this petition" he stated.
