Respondents For the petitioners : Mr. Pramod Mishra, Mr. Prafull Chandra Thakur, Advocates For the respondents 2 to 4: Mr. Awadhesh Prasad, Advocate ----------- 2 27/7/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the Bihar State Sanskrit Shiksha Board. The petitioners claim to be guardian of some students who are to take Madhyama examination in Sanskrit in the district of Madhepura, for which the examination centres have been notified at Madhepura district headquarter. The petitioners want that for the schools and students lying within Udakishunganj sub- 2 division of Madhepura district, the centres should have been at appropriate places within that sub-division so that students and guardians could have been spared from spending more money in coming to district headquarter. According to learned counsel for the petitioners such instructions are contained in some guidelines issued by the State of Bihar and, therefore, when the centres were notified by the Sanskrit Shiksha Board on 16th July, 2009, the petitioners filed a representation before the Chairman, Sanskrit Shiksha Board drawing his attention that in some of the districts examination centres have been located at the nearest sub- division also. Learned counsel for the Board has submitted that the examination is scheduled to begin on 29th July, 2009 and the centres have been fixed only on the recommendation of the concerned District Magistrate as per availability of safe and proper examination centres. It would not be proper for this court to interfere in the matter at this stage as any interference may dislocate examination schedule. Hence, writ petition 3 is disposed of. It goes without saying that if the authorities of the Sanskrit Shikcha Board are satisfied and it is deemed possible by them then they may make necessary changes. If they think that changes are not possible at this juncture then they must go ahead with the examination at the examination centres already notified. Neyaz/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.)
