Kendriya Vidyalaya students will not have to appear for the Sanskrit examination in the present academic session, the Centre has told the Supreme Court.

Students can opt for either German or Sanskrit language in this academic session, Centre tells the apex court.

The Supreme Court agreed with Centre’s proposal, saying it’s a good solution and there will be no burden on students.

“Even as a father, I would agree with Centre’s proposal,” says Justice A R Dave on the issue.

The apex court has adjourned the case till Monday after the petitioner challenged the Centre’s decision on Sanskrit, seeking time to counter the Government’s new proposal.
