S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.10752/2008 (Pratap Singh Versus Board of Secondary Education) Date of Order :: 27th September, 2008 PRESENT HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA KUMAR JAIN Mr. Keshav Agarwal for the petitioner Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner has preferred this writ petition challenging the impugned order dated 18th August, 2008 (Annexure-1), whereby his examination for secondary education has been cancelled by Board of Secondary Education on the ground that he used unfair means during examination. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner did not use any unfair means during examination and soon after receipt of the order dated 18th August, 2008, a common representation was given by number of students including the petitioner on 20th August, 2008, but till date no action has been taken on the said representation, therefore, the present petition has been preferred. 4. I have considered the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears from Annexure-2 that the petitioner and other students filed a representation before Secretary / Chairman, Board of Secondary Education, Ajmer, but the same has not been -2- decided so far. After considering the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner, I think it fit and proper to give a direction to the respondent – Board to decide the representation of the petitioner within a period of one month. 5. Consequently the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioner to file a fresh representation and in case the same is filed within a period of seven days from today, then the respondent – Board is directed to decide the same within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the representation alongwith copy of this order, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
