IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2915 of 2010 1. SHESH KUMAR SINGH S/O LATE JAINARAYAN SINGH R/O VILL.- MAHTHI, P.O.- MAHTHI, P.S.- BIBHUTIPUR, DISTT.- SAMASTIPUR Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE CHANCELLOR BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR 3. THE CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATION BIHAR UNIVERSITY, MUZAFFARPUR 4. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER MUZAFFARPUR ----------- 2/ 30/08/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State as also for the Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. The petitioner claims to have been a student of the B.Ed. course for the year-1984 in the Government Teachers Training College, Turki at Muzaffarpur. He ultimately cleared the same in 1987. It is contended that his mark sheet has been issued to him, but due to alleged absence of his name in the tabulation register the original certificate was not being issued. Learned counsel for the respondent University raises the objection of a stale claim. This Court cannot lose sight of the fact that the petitioner seeks relief in respect of examination in which he had appeared in the year-1987 and the mark sheet issued in the same year itself. This Court does not find it possible in view of the long passage of years to issue a mandamus for correction with tabulation register and issue the original - 2 - certificate straightway to the University at this stage. The Court therefore observes that if the petitioner appears before the Vice-Chancellor along with a copy of the present order and produces his admit card issued for the examination along with his original mark sheet, the Vice-Chancellor shall be at liberty to examine the veracity and genuineness of the same and if he is satisfied, the Court expects that an effort shall be made to scrutinize old records and issue the necessary original certificate of the petitioner after making necessary corrections in the records (tabulation register) of the University. If the Vice Chancellor is not satisfied with the veracity and genuineness of the admit card and mark sheet on which the petitioner bases his claim, the Vice Chancellor after hearing the petitioner shall be at liberty to pass a reasoned and speaking order. Let the aforesaid process be completed and finally disposed off appropriately within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt/presentation of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
