WP(C) 1848/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T. VAIPHEI The petitioner is aggrieved by the refusal of the Headmistress/Secretary of the Sarbodoy High School, Itkhola, Silchar to deliver the original mark sheet and th e provisional certificates of his two (2) children of the petitioner who appeare d in and were declared to have passed the HSLC Examination 2010 from Sarbodoy Hi gh School, filed this writ petition for an appropriate direction. Heard Mr. D. Choudhury, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. T.C. Chutia, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the SEBA. The learned Standing Counsel, SEBA has stated on instruction, that the o riginal mark sheet for the HSLC Examination, 2010 has already been transmitted t o the respondent No.4 and the same are now in the custody of the respondent No.4 and as such the respondent Board has done all its part and has no responsibilit y whatsoever to hand over the same to the petitioner. The other grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent No.4 has, without reasonable cause, refused t o issue the provisional certificates of his two children. In my opinion, the con duct of the respondent No.4 in refusing to hand over certificate and mark sheet appears to be quite high-handed. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it is also the apprehension of the petitioner that the original pass certif icate of the examination when issued by the Board may not be handed over to him in retaliation to this writ petition filed by the petitioner. It is quite possib le that the documents have not been released by the respondent No.4 in favour of the petitioner due to non-payment of lawful dues of the school. If that be so, such payment shall have to be made by the petitioner. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of by directing the responden t No.4 to release forthwith the original mark sheets and provisional certificate s of the children of the petitioner not later than 5.5.2011 subject to payment o f any legitimate due owed by him to the school. It is expected that the responde nt No.4 will not withhold these vital documents un-necessarily and without reaso nable cause. As and when the original pass certificates are issued by the respon dent No.4, the same shall also be delivered to the petitioner without any delay. This order is passed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to claim compensation from the respondent No.4.
