New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI) The Supreme Court today posted for Friday hearing on Maharashtra Government''s appeal challenging a Bombay High Court judgement setting aside the ''best of 5'' system for Secondary School Certificate Board students with regard to Class XI admissions. A three-judge bench of Justices Altamas Kabir, Mukundakam Sharma and A K Patnaik, asked the state government to submit a full copy of the impugned judgement for its perusal. The Maharashtra Government submitted before the apex court that the verdict needed to be set aside as it affected the interest of over 16 lakh students. The high court had quashed the best of 5 rule, saying it discriminated against students from other boards and also directed that online admission process for Class XI could commence immediately. Setting aside the system, the court had said it discriminated against the students from other boards such as Indian Certificate of Secondary Education and Central Board of Secondary Education. The state board this year had come out with a new rule according to which marks obtained in five subjects would be considered -- out of the six subjects -- for the purpose of issuing Class X mark list. The subject in which a student has fared worst would be left out. The decision was taken because SSC board felt that ICSE and CBSE marking systems were more liberal and gave advantage to their students in the Class X exam. But some parents of ICSE students challenged the system, saying the new SSC system is discriminatory, and even ICSE board should be allowed to adopt the same system.
