A Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh clarified to the petitioners — parents’ association of a private school here — that it was not going to entertain the plea. The Bench suggested that either a representation be moved before the Centre and the CBSE or the plea be withdrawn; else, it will dismiss it with costs.
