K.M.JOSEPH, J. ------------------------------------------ W.P.(C).No.3351 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of March, 2007 JUDGMENT Case of the petitioner in brief is as follows: Petitioner appeared in the S.S.L.C. examination in March 2006. She passed in the said examination. The result, though announced earlier, the card was issued in September 2006. When she received it, she noticed many mistakes in the card. Inspite of the timely requests made by the petitioner before the third respondent for correcting the mistakes, but no steps to rectify the same was taken. According to the petitioner, she lost one academic year. Apparently, petitioner had appeared for S.S.L.C. examination earlier as evident from Ext.P1 and she failed there in. Details are shown correctly in Ext.P1. Ext.P3 is the S.S.L.C. card which she received containing many mistakes. Petitioner has filed a representation before the third respondent requesting to WPC No.3351/07 2 issue the corrected card. 2. Today, when the matter came up for consideration, learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that it is only on account of the fact that the respondent did not receive the original S.S.L.C. book and also the abstract of the admission register of the petitioner that corrections could not be carried out and certificate issued. Learned Government Pleader also on instructions submits that the said documents have been received from the third respondent recently and it was sent only on 28/02/2007. He further submits that corrections will be carried out and certificate will be issued to the petitioner within a period of one week from today. Recording the above submission of the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to carry out the corrections in the S.S.L.C. card of the petitioner within a period of one week from today and the corrected card should be sent to the third respondent within a WPC No.3351/07 3 further period of one week thereafter. The third respondent shall issue the corrected S.S.L.C. card to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of two days from the date of receipt of the corrected card. As regards the relief of compensation sought by the petitioner, I leave it open. K.M.JOSEPH JUDGE sv. WPC No.3351/07 4
