THE HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12517 OF 2007 Dated 3rd July, 2007 Between: Nareshkumar Reddy S/o Srinivas Reddy …Petitioner And The Director of School Education, A.P., Hyderabad. …Respondent. ORAL ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a declaration that the action of the respondent in not allotting full marks in the Teachers’ Recruitment Test-2006 for selection to the post of School Assistant (Social Studies) conducted by the District Selection Committee held on 9.6.2007 is illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner appeared for the said examination with Hall Ticket No.23501995 on 10.9.2006. Initially, he was awarded 75 marks and he had applied for reverification of marks by paying the necessary fees, as for 24 questions alphabet ‘S’ was mentioned instead of numerical value from 1 to 4. In the reverification, the marks were furnished to the petitioner mentioning them as 83 instead of 75 marks stated earlier. But, however, it is the case of the petitioner that with reference to question No.35 in the said examination, the alphabet ‘S’ was still there, though he had answered the said question. However, the learned Government Pleader for School Education has placed the OMR answer sheet of the petitioner before this court. From the said sheet it is evident that the petitioner did not answer question No.35 at all. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that there was no proper valuation and award of marks. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is dismissed accordingly. No costs. _____________________ 3-7-2007 R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. VR
