PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 8975 OF 2008 R = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st April, 2008. J U D G M E N T In this writ petition the grievance of the petitioner is regarding the refusal of the respondents to revalue his answer papers, the marklist of which is Ext. P2. According to the petitioner, though he wanted revaluation to be done the respondents have only scrutinised the answer papers. 2. The learned Govt. Pleader has produced before me the notification for Arabic Teachers' Examination April, 2007 which contains clause 21 and the same being relevant, is extracted below for reference: “Applications from candidate for scrutiny of their valued answer script will be accepted within 15 days from and including the date of publication of the results. The fee for scrutiny is Rs.20/- per paper under the head of account 0202-01-102-92 other receipts in the name of candidates and the original Chelan receipt should be sent along with the application.” From the above it can be seen that the only relevant regulation W.P.(C) No. 8975 OF 2008 -2- available in the notification is clause 21and that the same provides only for scrutiny of the answer papers. Since there is no regulation for revaluation, the respondents cannot be faulted for refusing to do the same. Writ petition therefore fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
