JUDGMENT Petitioner is a Higher Secondary Student. He appeared in the final examinations and wanted to improve the marks in Maths and Physics. However, such improvement was allowed only in respect of Physics. 2. According to him, he wanted to appear for the Engineering Entrance Examination, for which he should have secured a minimum of 50% marks in Maths. This he did not have and it was therefore that he wanted to improve the marks for Maths as well. However that was not allowed and that lead the petitioner to file this writ petition. 3. Learned Government Pleader submits that the regulations that are in force now do not provide for improvements as sought for. However, at this stage, the counsel for the petitioner prays that the petitioner be WP(c).No.2617/09 /2/ permitted to cancel the examination and appear afresh. In terms of the Government Order dated 4.2.2008, a copy of which has been made available before me by the Government Pleader, with a copy to the petitioner, such cancellation of the entire examination is permissible and therefore it is directed that if an application is made for such cancellation, the same shall be allowed. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).No.2617/09 /2/
