No.23259 of 2010 (F) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 26th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T Prayer sought in the writ petition is to direct respondents 2 & 3 to produce the original answer sheets of the papers “Harijan Welfare Department Test (1 paper)”, “Hand Book of the Harijan Welfare Department (with books)” of the petitioner of the departmental tests conducted on 16/01/2009, 16/07/2009 & 16/01/2010 before this Court and direct them to be valued by an independent expert valuer. Admittedly, the petitioner has failed in these examinations. Revaluation either by an internal expert or by an external expert can be ordered only if the Regulations of the PSC permit for the same. The petitioner has no case that there is any Regulation providing for such revaluation. In such circumstances, this Court will not be justified in issuing any direction as sought for. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
