For the petitioner : - Mr. Manoj Kumar Jha, Advocate For the Board : - Mr. Lalit Kishore, Sr. Advocate Mr. Girijesh Kumar, Advocate ----------- 03/ 23.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board, who prays for time to file counter affidavit, but in view of the nature of the order which this Court is proposes to pass. It is not deemed expedient to grant any time to file counter affidavit in the matter as such opportunity was already granted under orders dated 5.3.2009. 2. Petitioner appeared in the Intermediate examination 1991 in Arts conducted by Bihar Intermediate Education Council, Patna. The examination was conducted in May, 1993 as would appear from the marks-sheet contained in Annexure-4. He passed the said examination in First Division as is evident from the marks-sheet Annexure-4. Later, he was provided with the certificate that he had passed Intermediate examination in Arts held in March, 1993 and placed in the Second Division. The certificate is dated 30th August, 1993, but the counsel submits that the same was given to the petitioner - 2 - in 2006. The said certificate is contained in Annexure -5. Having received the certificate petitioner noticed few mistakes therein. For correction in the certificate, Annexure-5 petitioner requested the Secretary of the Intermediate council in his representation Annexure-6 series, which was duly forwarded by the Principal of A.H.S.A. College where the petitioner had prosecuted his intermediate studies. The forwarding letter also contained copy of the problem slip indicating the corrections, which is sought for by the petitioner. Said problem slip is contained in Annexured-6/1. Later, the Principal of the College again invited the attention of the Secretary of the Council about the relevant details concerning the petitioner as would appear from the tabulation register. Aforesaid information was given under letter dated 24.11.2006, Annexure-7. The authorities of the Council when did not take any action in the light of the earlier request as contained in Annexure-6 series then the petitioner filed a fresh representation which is dated 15.1.2009 and is contained in Annexure- 8, which is addressed to the Secretary of the Bihar School Examination Board, which has taken over the Intermediate Council. 3. Having hard counsel for the petitioner and the Bihar School Examination Board, I direct the Bihar School Examination Board to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 15.1.2009, Annexure -8 in the light of the request made in the earlier representation, Annexure -6 series as also the problem slip which is dated 17.10.2006, Annexure -6/1 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as early as possible in any case within one month - 3 - from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that if on the representation of the petitioner correction is allowed, then the corrected certificate should be issued within two weeks of the order passed on the representation. 4. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. DKS/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
