PETITIONER AND The Commissioner and Director of School Education, Lakidikapool, Hyderabad. ....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE M.VENKATESWARA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3357 OF 2006 O R D E R (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) The writ petition is filed with a prayer as follows: “…… Hon’ble court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondent in not conducting the exam fairly thereby the petitioner is suffered irreparable loss to re-value the answer sheets of the petitioner by declaring the action of the respondent as illegal, arbitrary, unjust, bad in law and also violative of principles of natural justice and also violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondent herein to reserve one post of teacher for the applicant …” The petitioner appeared in the D.S.C. Examinations conducted in the year 1996 for the purpose of appointing Secondary Grade Teachers. He suspects that the examination was not conducted fairly. The basis for such suspicion is some undisclosed adverse publicity carried by the media. He, therefore, believes that injustice was done to him. He also believes that there could be errors in the valuation of the answer sheets of the petitioner, which was made by the computer. In our opinion, the writ petition is required to be dismissed on more than one ground – (1) laches, and (2) the whole petition is based on conjectures. The litigation is purely speculative in nature. In the circumstances, we do not see any reason to entertain the writ petition and the same is therefore dismissed at the stage of admission itself. There shall be no order as to costs. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR ------------------------------------------------ JUSTICE M.VENKATESWARA REDDY 6TH MARCH, 2006 PGS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE M.VENKATESWARA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3357 OF 2006 (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) 6th MARCH, 2006
