Hyderabad, April 16: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday directed the state government to allow all students who could not appear for SSC public examinations held in March this year to write special supplementary examinations to be held from April 25. While disposing of a batch of writ petitions, Justice Nooty Rammohan Rao directed that, "All such students who pursued their SSC during the academic year 2007-08 and who could not appear for the examinations irrespective of the reasons shall be permitted to the appear for the special supplementary exams."
The judge further directed that the applications of the candidates be received by the district educational officers up to April 19. Counsel for the school education department, Mr P. Srinivas, told the court that news reports stating that 10,000 candidates could not write the examination in the March were not correct. Justice Rammohan Rao observed that, "It is not at all a question here. You have to allow all the students to write the exam. The decision of the government to conduct special supplementary examination is appreciable but at the same time the government should keep in mind that it is difficult for a students to write two papers a day."
