IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 16468 of 2011. [O&M] Date of Decision: 02nd December, 2011. Jasbir Singh & Anr. Petitioners through Mr. Liaqat Ali, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Ms.Sudeepti Sharma,DAG, Punjab. Mr. S.P.Garg, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioners are the parents of students of Government High School, Raipur, Peer Bux Wala, Tehsil Bhulath, District Kapurthala. Their grievance is that the examination Center of the aforesaid school has been shifted suddenly to a place which is 15-16 Kilometers away and has no transport facility thereby causing immense hardship to the children. The respondents have filed their short reply/affidavit explaining that the distance of the new Examination Center is about 6 Kilometers only. It is further explained that the examination has already been held at the new Center. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. It is true that once the examination has been held, this petition is technically rendered infructuous. However, the grievance of the petitioners would continue to persist till the Competent Authority reconsiders the shifting of the examination Center to the same school and/or a nearby place, minimizing the hardship likely to be caused to the students. Suffice it to observe that in such like cases, the administrative issues including maintenance of law and order/purity and fairness of the examination are also involved. While no sweeping directions can be issued by this Court to restore the same school as an examination center, the request of the petitioners deserves to be sympathetically considered by the Authorities concerned. Consequently, the Secretary, Punjab School Education Board is directly to reconsider the whole issue and take an appropriate decision well in advance but before the next examination. Disposed of. Dasti. December 02, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
