Since students of class X are now appearing at the test examination and students of class Ix have their examination shortly after the puja holidays, the petitioner demanded removal of restrictions on qualification of the scribe in line with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment vide their letter dated February 26, 2013.
