Judges at Bombay High Court came down hard on the Maharashtra government for proposing to cancel the Maharashtra Class 10 board exams due to the pandemic. “In the name of the pandemic, you (government) cannot spoil the career and future of our children. You are harming the children and not helping them," the division bench of Justice SJ Kathawalla and SP Tavade said while hearing a petition against the cancellation of the 10th standard exam by the Maharashtra government. "This is not acceptable at all. You are destroying the system. The framers of the education policy in the state should know this,” the judges said.
