On Thursday, 02 December 2021 the Supreme Court rejected the Writ Petition questioning the structure of Intermediate and Final CMA exams scheduled for 8 December by the Institute of Costs and Accounts of India (ICMAI).
The Bench including Justice LN Rao, BR Gavai and BV Nagarathna quashed the Petition while stating, “Are you some supervising agency or exam controlling authority? You say people living in remote areas will be at disadvantage. You people are before us and you represent lakhs of students?”
“If we start interfering in exams like this, no exam will be conducted in the country,” the Court distressed.
The counsel on behalf of the Petitioner put forward the anxiousness regarding the leaks of papers being done and the Institute’s incompetency to frame guidelines for the online exams in which students are expected to draw diagrams.
To which the Court responded that they cannot turn themselves into supervisory authorities.
The Petition was filed on basis that the pattern fixed for the Intermediate and Final exam 2021 as unconstitutional and void as it goes against the Article(s) 14, 19 and 21 of the Indian Constitution.
The Petition also requested for the steps to ICMAI to schedule the examination in offline mode.
