New Delhi: Following the intervention of HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, the CBSE results for class XII may be announced in time. Following several rounds of meeting between the CBSE and HRD ministry officials, the board board may not move the Supreme Court against Delhi HC's order asking it not to do away with moderation of marks.The Ministry has made it clear to the board that it wants the results ontime.

After the Delhi HC's order, according to a Times of India report, HRD minister Prakash Javadekar had met the secretary of school education and the CBSE chairperson on Wednesday morning, where it was decided that legal opinion should be sought on the order."Based on the legal opinion received by the ministry (on Wednesday), it was decided that the board will not move the court. It has also been decided that moderation will be done based on the rules set (in the examination by laws of CBSE). However, there will not be 'artificial' inflation of marks," said a senior HRD official.

Sources said CBSE is likely to stick to its five-point moderation policy. On the backfoot ever since the HC restrained it from scrapping the moderation of marks policy for this year, CBSE and the government again sought legal opinion on Thursday and consulted additional solicitor general Sanjay Jain for a way forward, since he had represented the board in court.
