Her roll number was 051565. Contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is a student of Class XII and has excellent academic career. In class X Examination she secured 75.6% marks in Board Examination. In Class XII examination she did her papers excellently but marks awarded to her are less than her expectation. Therefore, on 17.06.2010 she applied for scrutiny and deposited the required fee. Learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that in these circumstances the answer sheets of the petitioner be revalued. This prayer of the petitioner cannot be allowed in view of the fact that there is no rule which provides revaluation and also in view of the law laid down in the judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court reported in (1984)4 Supreme Court Cases 27, Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education vs. Paritosh Bhupeshkumar Seth & Others. However, since the petitioner has applied for the scrutiny and deposited the required fee in time, respondent is directed to scrutinize the answer sheets of the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of production of certified copy of the order. The writ petition is disposed of. 3 Interim Relief Application No.5497 of 2010 also stands disposed of. (V.K.Bist. J,) 09.07.2010 Arti 4
