HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 248/2010 (S/S) Geeta Bhatt. …Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others. …Respondents. Shri Mohd. Matlood, holding brief of Sri C.K. Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner. Shri R.C. Arya, learned Brief Holder for the State/respondent nos. 1 to 3. Dated: April 15, 2010 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Present petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 18.02.2010 (annexure no.6), pending before the respondents for grant of weightage of two marks as per the Govt. Order dated 06.06.2008. The facts, in brief, are that the petitioner appeared in Regular B.T.C. Entrance Examination on 23.08.2009. After declaration of the result, the petitioner came to know through website about the marks obtained by him, in which he was awarded 105.20 marks. The petitioner also came to know that he was not awarded weightage of two marks as provided by the Govt. Order dated 06.06.2008. Such weightage was provided to the candidates for N.S.S.-A certificate holders. Thereafter, on 18.02.2010, the petitioner moved a representation before respondent no.3 but the same has not been decided so far. The petitioner also met to respondent no.3 personally, but the petitioner was informed that nothing will be done in his case unless some order is passed by the higher authorities. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioner confined his argument to the extent that the respondent no.3 may be directed to decide his representation dated 18.02.2010 expeditiously. Learned Brief Holder does not have any objection in case such order is passed. Prayer being innocuous is allowed. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent no.3 to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 18.02.2010 within a period of seven days from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. Interim relief application also stands disposed of. Let certified copy of the order be supplied to the learned counsel for the petitioners today itself on payment of usual charged. (V.K.
