FR petition over Grade 5 Scholarship exam fixed for consideration

The Supreme Court has ordered for the Fundamental Rights (FR) petition filed seeking an order preventing the release of the 2024 Grade 05 Scholarship Examination results and the cut-off marks, to be taken up for consideration on November 18.

The petitioners have requested the Supreme Court through their FR petition that an order be issued invalidating question paper 01 of the 2024 Grade 05 Scholarship Examination of which certain questions are alleged to have been leaked, and that the exam be held again.

The petition was taken up before Supreme Court Justice Arjuna Obeysekera today (24).

The court ordered the respondents to submit any objections to the petition before November 5, and any further objections related to those were ordered to be submitted before November 12.

Accordingly, the next hearing of the petition has been fixed for November 18 to confirm the facts of the petition.

The petitions were filed by the parents of several students who sat for the 2024 Grade 05 Scholarship Examination which was held on September 15, 2024.
