IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 2022 of 2008 Priya Kumari, daughter of Sri Subodh Kumar, resident of village - Narhaiya, P S - Falka, Dist - Katihar - Petitioner Versus 1 The B N Mandal University Madhepura through its Registrar B N Mandal University, Laloo Nagar, Madhepura 2 The Vice Chancellor, B N Mandal University, Laloo Nagar, Madhepura, Dist - Madhepura 3 The Controller of Examination, B N Mandal University, Laloo Nagar, Madhepura 4 The Principal, Purnea Mahila College, Purnea - Respondents ----------- 4 26.11.2008 The petitioner complains that she was a student of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and gave her final Part-III Examinations of the 2005 batch in the month of January 2007. When she obtained her marks sheet, the total marks in Part-II for theory was shown as 107. She applied for retotalling. When, on retotalling, marks sheet was resupplied, it was found that so far as total of theory marks in Part-II (Honours) subject is concerned, the marks stood enhanced from 107 to 111 but while doing so, the total marks in practical of Part-I, II & III was reduced from 96 to 75 without any justification. The result being that whereas by the first marks sheet, she was declared pass securing 808 marks and, thus, a first class now her marks stood reduced to 786 and second class. University, upon notice, has filed copies of the tabulation register and points out that firstly the increase in marks from 107 to 111 was on recalculation with regard to tabulation register of answer books. When it came to reduction of marks in practical, it was pointed out that there was an addition mistake and instead of adding 54 and 21 which would be 75 what was added 21 and the total - 2 - 75 to come 96. In my view, the explanation appears to be bona fide and it is a bona fide error. Petitioner cannot be granted any relief. The writ application is, accordingly, dismissed.
