IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 15922 of 2007 Sadhana Singh, daughter of Ram Kumar Singh, resident of village - Chhakan Bigha, P S : Karpi, Dist : Jehanabad - Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar 2 The Secretary, Bihar School Examination Board, Patna 3 District Education Officer, Patna District, Patna 4 The Headmaster, Rajkiya Krit High School, Bansh Bigha, P O : Bansh Bigha, P S : Dhanuria, Dist : Patna - Respondents ----------- 3 03.02.2009 The irresponsible manner in which so-called responsible authorities work is exemplified by the present case. The petitioner had appeared in the Higher secondary Examination in the year 2004 from High School, Bansh Bigha, Patna. The examination was conducted by the Bihar School examination Board, Patna. Having appeared in the examination, when her results were not published, she made representations wherever she could think of and having failed to get her results ultimately filed this writ application before this Court in 2007. Now a supplementary counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the Bihar School Examination Board in which it is stated that due to a technical error committed by the Principal of the School, the results could not be published and (now on 11.12.2008) are being published. Petitioner’s marksheet is annexed as Annexure-E to the supplementary counter affidavit. Petitioner has passed in Ist Division. What has happened to her career one wonders because the results ought to have been declared in the year 2004 itself? The authorities dealing with education matter which vitally affects the career of young students are oblivious of their obligation as an officer as well as a part of the society. Under the circumstances aforesaid, the results having been 2 declared, though the petitioner has yet to receive formal communication, the writ petition stands disposed of but under the circumstances aforesaid with costs of Rs 10,000/- to be paid within one month from today.
