Being mlnor represented through his father. RESPONDENTS Veraus 1. State of Chhattisgarh Through Schoot Education Department, Raipur (C.G.) 2. The Chhattisgarh Madhymik Shiksha Mandal, Raipur (C.G.) Present: Mr. Anand Kumar Tiwari, learned counsel for the petitionsr. ORDER (Passed on 28'" November 2005) What is sought by the petitioner in this writ petition is mandamus/ direction to the respondents to revalue the answer-scripts in Hindi and Sanskrit subjects contending that he has performed very well in those'subjects, but he has been awarded very poor marks. It is well settled by a catena of decisions including in the case of Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and in the case of Higher Secondary Education and another Vs. Paritosh Bhupesh Kumarsheth ete. (AIR 1984 SC 1543) and in the case of Pramod Kumar Srivastava Vs. •a. - Chairman, Bihar Public Service Commission, Patna and others (2004 AIR SCW 4541) that no candidate would have right to seek re-valuation of the answer books as a matter of right or course, in the absence of any statute or statutory reguiations providing for re-valuation. it is not the case of the petitioner that any statute or statutory regulations enable the petitioner to seek re-valuation of his answer scripts in the subjects of Hindi and Sanskrit. The writ petition is, therefore, misconceived and the writ sought by the petitioner could not be granted. On that short ground, the writ petition is dismissed, however, with no costs. - - -— -—-—— Sd/- Chief Justice s^ y^' '<
