Ram Prasad Singh Sanskrit Primary-cum-Middle school, Birbalpur, Rajpur PS Rajpur District Buxar through its Head Master Shri Tej Narayan Singh son of Late Raj Nath Singh, resident of village Khairahikpur PS Dinara, District Rohtas ( Sasaram) ----------- 2 27-07-2009 Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned 2 counsel for the Sanskrit Shiksha Board in both the appeals. The Madhyama examination being conducted by the Bihar Sanskrit Shiksha Board is scheduled to commence from 29-7-2009. The appellants/petitioners have prayed that the Board should accept the fees and forms of students of their schools also for the ensuing Madhyama examination. No doubt earlier some writ petitions were disposed of by this court directing for acceptance of fees and forms in case the same were tendered by 14-7-2009 but the writ petitions filed by the appellants suffered from unfortunate delay inasmuch as it could be taken up only on 16-7-2009. Learned writ court rightly expressed his helplessness in extending the last date for depositing the fees and forms fixed by the Division Bench. At the present stage when the examination is to commence only after two days, we are of the view that appellants must blame themselves for not approaching this court well in time. The acceptance of fees and forms cannot be extended further otherwise it will dislocate the ensuing examination itself. For the said reason, we find no merit in the appeals. They are, accordingly, dismissed. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Anjana Prakash, J.)
