New Delhi: Delhi High Court has ruled that the marks secured by a student in the secondary school examination cannot be obtained even under the Right to Information (RTI) Act as this would defeat the objective of replacing marks with grades introduced in 2010.

The high court’s ruling came while hearing a plea filed by the CBSE.

The observation of the court came on the plea of Anil Kumar Kathpal, who wanted the marks of his daughter to be disclosed. He had sought to know the actual marks obtained by his daughter in the Class 10 examination held in 2010, saying that the information would help him to identify the weak areas in her studies.
