Besides this, the top court was hearing a plea seeking quashing of the May 18 notification of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) by which the date sheet for remaining exams of Class XII was declared. During the hearing, Mehta requested the bench to adjourn the matter for a day and said he would apprise the apex court about the decision taken by the authorities regarding CBSE exams. During the hearing on a separate plea concerning ICSE exams, the counsel appearing for the ICSE told the bench that they would broadly follow the government's decision regarding CBSE exams. Also, because the Government of India is likely to take an informed decision with regard to the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE)," the bench noted in its order. It has also raised concern over the issue where an examination centre might fall within the Covid-19 containment zone.
