Punjab School Education Board -----Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Mr. Harinder Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. --- ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ 1. This petition seeks quashing of the Punjab School Education Board (General Regulation of Examination) Regulations, 1986 to the extent the rules allow rectification of result at any time and for quashing of letter dated 5.5.2011, Annexure P-5, purporting to rectify the result of the petitioner. 2. According to the petitioner, he was declared pass on 31.5.2010, as per marks sheet Annexure P-1. He was issued marks certificate on the basis of which he took admission in a higher class by paying `40,000/- as fee. Subsequently, the impugned letter has been issued to the effect that the result earlier declared was wrong and actually the petitioner had failed. C.W.P. No.13934 of 2011 Contention raised in the petition is that once result was declared, the same could not be rectified after a long period. 3. We are unable to accept the submission. As per impugned letter, the petitioner had been wrongly declared as pass. He actually secured three marks as against 24 in theory paper of Chemistry. Such mistake could certainly be rectified. 4. Faced with the above situation, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the petition with liberty to make representation to the respondent-Board to allow the petitioner to be satisfied that he had actually secured only three marks and not 24, as earlier mentioned. 5. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to make a representation to the respondent. If any such representation is made within one month from today, the respondent Board may allow the petitioner to see the paper, if the paper is available, subject to payment of necessary charges and if no charges are specified under rules, the petitioner may be allowed to see the paper on deposit of `1,000/-.
