STATE OF KERALA (REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY) DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. G.P. SMT.SUDHADEVI. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.28442 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 24th day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a student who has completed Plus Two course. She did not secure the marks she hoped for. She applied for revaluation of answer papers of five subjects, viz., Malayalam, Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Mathematics. She was told that after revaluation there is change in marks only in Malayalam and Physics. In respect of Chemistry, Botany and Mathematics, she was told that there is no change in marks. The petitioner is dissatisfied with the same. According to her, as per her assessment, she is entitled to 100 per cent marks in Mathematics and in other subjects also, it cannot be less than 90 per cent. The petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to produce the answer sheets and to direct the respondents to revalue the answer sheets again. I am afraid that in the absence of any rules enabling the petitioner to get those reliefs, I cannot grant her those reliefs. If the petitioner wants to get copies of the answer papers, she can certainly apply for the same by resort to the provisions under the w.p.c.28442/08 2 Right to Information Act. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to apply for copies of the answer sheets by resort to the provisions under the Right to Information Act and to approach this Court again, if on the basis of the same, she can make out a case of any irregularity in the valuation or revaluation.
