THE [MADHYA PRADESH] RECOGNIZED EXAMINATIONS ACT, 1937

(M.P. ACT No. X of 1937)

(Published in the “Central Provinces Gazette” , dated the 12 th February 1937)

An Act to provide for the prevention of leakage of questions set at recognized examinations.

Preamble:- Whereas it is expedient to make provision for the prevention

of the leakage of questions set at recognized examination ;

And whereas the previous sanction of the Governor- General required by sub-section (3) of section 80-A of the Government of India Act has been obtained for the passing of this Act ;

Statement of objects and Reasons. In past years there has often been a leakage of questions set for recognized examinations. These examinations have on several occasions had to be cancelled and re-held owing to leakage of question, and this has caused extra expense and much inconvenience to all concerned particularly to the candidates who had to undergo a second examination. In spite of the exercise of all possible vigilance on the part of the authorities concerned, it has not been found possible either to prevent these leakages or in most cases to bring the offenders to book. It is, therefore desirable to make the unauthorized possession of examination papers a punishable offence.

The Bill is drafted on the lines of Burma Public Examination Bill of 1935.
