8-yr-old not allowed to sit for SSC

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, May 28: A division bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday refused to pass an order to permit an eight-year-old boy to appear for the SSC examinations. While dismissing a writ appeal filed by Dogga V. George, son of D.A. Janardhana Rao, resident of Kothavalasa village of Vizianagaram district, challenging the order of the single judge, the bench upheld the single judge order.
The single judge earlier dismissed the petition filed by the boy seeking a direction that the government permit him to appear for the SSC examinations.
The bench observed that “no one doubts the brilliance of the boy. But it is not advisable to put more pressure on the mind of a eight -year old kid”.
