Ms. Seema Sirohi, Advocate for respondents. 14th July, 2009 Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Petitioner has appeared in the intermediate examination, 2009 and now she has filed this writ petition with the following prayers: “i) To issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to produced the answer book of the subject of Hindi, English and Mathematics of the petitioner bearing roll no. 073878 of regular Intermediate Examination 2009 before this Hon’ble Court and marks may be awarded to the petitioner performance done by the petitioner in his answer book. ii) To issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to scrutinize all the five subjects mentioned in the scrutiny form, in she has appeared in the intermediate examination 2009 and to declare the result of the petitioner as early as possible. iii) Pass any other writ, order or direction, which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. iv) Award the cost of the writ petition to the petitioner.” 2 This Court was inclined to dismiss the writ petition in limine today as such a prayer is not maintainable looking to the facts of the case. However, now the counsel for the petitioner has made an oral prayer praying that since she has applied for scrutiny of certain papers (contained as Annexure No. 6 to the writ petition), the same may be expedited. The apprehension of the petitioner is that the process of scrutiny may be delayed. No presumption can be drawn by this Court regarding the delay in process, it is expected that the respondent Board will proceed expeditiously regarding scrutiny of the papers. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 14.7.2009 Rathour
