The Karnataka government informed the Supreme Court Today (Oct 15) that the State’s notifications to hold board examinations for classes 5, 8 and 9 in the current academic year in three rural districts have been withdrawn. Interestingly, Central government’s second senior most law officer, Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, appeared for the Congress ruled State. SG Mehta told the bench that there was a mistake on the part of State in issuing such a notification for conducting exam despite court’s stay.
