The Orissa High Court has directed the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to publish the Class XII results for 74 students from Padampur Public School in Bargarh district, Odisha, within a week. The court quashed CBSE's earlier decision to cancel their results over alleged use of unfair means, citing a lack of concrete legal proof. Justice Ananda Chandra Behera noted that the board's decision was based on inferences rather than direct evidence, which violated the students' rights to equality under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. The students had previously received their results marked as 'Result Later (R.L)' and were later classified under 'Unfair Means (UFM)' without justification. This ruling underscores the importance of substantiated claims in academic assessments and ensures that the affected students receive their rightful results and certificates promptly.
