Counsel for the Petitioner: Taken up PETITION Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR EDUCATION The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, ACJ) This petition was taken up on the basis of a letter in which a candidate had expressed her apprehension that she had got 40 marks les than she expected. She has got 541 out of 600 marks and notice was issued to the respondents to file counter affidavit and additional counter in which they denied the allegations levelled in the application. They say in the meantime, the petitioner had herself moved an application for recounting as there is no provision for re-evaluation and in recounting, minor mistakes were found and those were corrected. She had got an additional mark in Hindi whereas she lost two marks in Social Studies. We do not think that there is any scope for this Court to go into the question whether the answers scripted by the petitioner could be ordered to be re-evaluated. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. _________________ BILAL NAZKI, ACJ DATE: 27th June, 2005 ________________ G.CHANDRAIAH ,J Pnb To 1 The Director, Board of Secondary Education, Govt. of A.P.
