“I have gone through the grounds urged in the petition. The petitioner is seeking intervention of this court on matters which are prohibited. There is no merit in the petition. The same is dismissed,” said justice RS Endlaw and declined to quash CBSE’s two notifications on introduction of grades from academic year 2010-2011.

Challenging CBSE’s circulars of September 20 and 29, 2009 for introduction of grading system, Indepedent Schools’ Federation of India said these circulars were not issued in accordance with the National Curriculum Framework and they needed to be set aside.
