ICAI CA 2024: Delhi HC Dismisses Plea For Postponement of Inter, Final Exams

CA Exam 2024: Delhi High Court has rejected the plea of CA aspirants to postpone the CA May 2024 Exam date. The concern of the aspirants is that the candidates who live away from their homes will not be able to cast their votes in the Lok Sabha elections because of the CA exams happening in May. The Lok Sabha elections are scheduled to be held in April, May, and June.

CA Exam 2024 Postponement: The Delhi Court refused a petition seeking to revise the Chartered Accountants (CA) intermediate and final exams exams. CA aspirants filed this plea requesting the court to order the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAI) to postpone the CA 2024 May exams. 

The court while rejecting the plea cited that no such rule exists that prevents an organisation from holding examinations during polls. “This court is surprised that such a request has been made,” said the single bench comprising of Justice C Hari Shankar during the hearing. The bench further mentioned that the petition is bereft of substance.

The court also pointed out that no CA Exam dates clash with the voting dates and the students who have a problem with appearing for the exams may refrain from taking it. The court asked applicants to balance their preparation if they wished to cast their vote. 

ICAI CA 2024: Important Dates

ICAI had already revised the CA Exams date due to the Lok Sabha election date. As per the revised schedule, the CA exams are scheduled to be held on:

Exams

Revised Date

CA Inter Group I

May 3, 5, and 9, 2024

CA Inter Group II

May 11, 15, and 17, 2024

CA Final Group I

May 2, 4, and 8, 2024

CA Final Group II

May 10, 14, and 16, 2024

However, CA aspirants are not happy with these dates. The petitioners have highlighted many issues that might arise with the exams happening in May, such as lack of transportation, usage of loudspeakers during electioneering, etc. 

Child activist Anubha Srivastava Sahai was representing the students in the court. Some practicing CAs are also supporting the students in this fight against ICAI for changing the dates.
