It appears that the petitioner had taken Standard XII examination conducted by the Gujarat Secondary Education Board, the respondent no.1 herein (hereinafter referred to as 'the Board'), in the month of March, 1997. The petitioner had studied in Sindhi Medium School and had given answers to the questions in Sindhi. However, the question papers were set in Gujarati. The petitioner has claimed that the Board did not have adequate facility to evaluate the answers given in Sindhi and has prayed for reassessment/reevaluation of her answer books. The petitioner has also prayed that a mechanism may be worked out for reassessment/reevaluation of the answer books of the aggrieved students. In view of the passage of time, no order is required to be made on this petition. The issues raised in the petition have become academic. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. Rule is discharged. There shall be no order as to costs. ( Ms. R.M. Doshit, J. ) /sakkaf
