The Maharashtra State Board and Secondary Board has given a green signal to 17-year-old SSC student Mohommad Asif Nafees Khan to sit for the board exams in March, after mid-day reported the incident. The state board had earlier stopped the student from giving the exam over insufficient residence proof.

Since the last one month, Asif Khan and his family had been struggling to get approvals. Khan also submitted a bonafide certificate from his school at Sultanpur in UP and an MLA’s letter as residence proofs in Mumbai, but the board didn’t accept it.
