IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17716 of 2009 NITU KUMARI & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02 08.03.2010 The petitioner no.1 is the minor girl before this Court along with her guardian petitioner no.2. She appeared in the Senior Secondary Examination, 2009. The Admit Card allotted her Roll Code 4117, Roll No. 10678. The admit card mentioned her father‟s sur-name as “Prabat” in place of “Parbat”, she applied for correction of the same. The tabulation register did not correct her father‟s sur-name and on the contrary identified her Roll No. as 40005 in place of 10678. The marks-sheet issued to the petitioner again did not correct her father‟s sur-name, though the roll number was correctly written as 10678. An additional ground has been urged that at the top of the marks-sheet it should have borne the alphabet „S‟ as being a mark-sheet with regard to the subject of „Science‟, but it wrongly mentioned „A‟ signifying it marks-sheet of an Arts subject. Learned counsel for the Board produces before this Court a fresh Migration Certificate in 2 respect of the petitioner containing her Roll No. 10678 along with corrected sur-name of the father. He also produces the correct marks-sheet of the science series with the correction in the name of the father. Likewise the Provisional Certificate has also been corrected on both counts. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is a reasonable apprehension that mentioning of the wrong roll number as 40005 in the tabulation register cannot rule out the possibility that the marks allotted to the petitioner have been granted on basis of another answer-sheet which may have borne the roll no. 40005. Let the petitioner no.2 himself or his authorized representative appear before the Chairman of the Board. The original answer-sheets of the petitioner no.1 shall then be called for and examined by the Secretary of the Board in presence of petitioner no.2 or his authorized representative to cross-check the same with the marks given to petitioner no.1 in the tabulation register marks- sheet. If they tally, no further action is required. If they do not tally, the Board is directed to take necessary correctional steps in accordance with law and issue the correct marks-sheet and other 3 necessary certificates of the petitioner no.1 as may be reflected from her answer-sheets. Let the same be done within a maximum period of two weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Let the original certificates produced in the Court by counsel for the Board be handed over to the counsel for the petitioner. In view of the fact that the error was on part of the Board, the petitioner shall not be required to apply or pay any fee etc. for the purpose of any further corrections that may be done. The application stands disposed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
