IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2002 of 2010 SARITA KUMARI, WIFE OF SHANKAR PRASAD ROY DAUGHTER OF LATE RAM GATI ROY, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE NORTHE DHAMAUN P.S .PATORI DISTRICT SAMASTIPUR. Versus 1. SRI K.P.YADAV, CHAIRMAN BIHAR SCHOOL EXAMINATION BOARD, PATNA. 2. SRI ANUP KUMAR SECRETARY, BIHAR SCHOOL EXAMINATION BOARD, PATNA. 3. SRI BINOD RAI PRINCIPAL ZAHIR HUSAIN TEACHERS TRAINING (OP.ED) POGHI PARSA DISTRICT SARAN. 4. THE STATE OF BIHAR. ----------- 04. 04.05.2011 From the cause shown by opposite party no.2 it appears that the case of the petitioner for correction of her marksheet, in compliance of the orders of the High Court dated 30.5.2007 passed in C.W.J.C. No.1310 of 2007, Annexure-1 was considered by the Secretary, Bihar School Examination Board under order bearing Memo No.K/217 dated 17.9.2007, Annexure-A to the show cause filed on behalf of opposite party no.2 and was rejected on the ground that she has applied for such correction after 12 years of the examination, meanwhile the answer sheet of the examination conducted 12 years earlier had been destroyed. In view of the order dated 17.9.2007, Annexure- A and the receipt showing dispatch of the said order to the petitioner under registered cover, I am not inclined to proceed any further with the contempt petition, which is, accordingly, dismissed. Request of the petitioner to grant her permission to challenge the order dated 17.9.2007 is also rejected on the ground that answer sheet having been destroyed, no useful 2 purpose will be served by challenging the order dated 17.9.2007 even on the ground that another candidate appearing in the said examination Abha Kumari was granted average marks in the subjects, answer sheet whereof was destroyed. In this connection, I may refer to the submission of the counsel for the Board that Abha Kumari applied for correction of the marksheet soon after the examination and the Board having destroyed the answer sheet of Abha Kumari even without passage of reasonable time granted her average marks but petitioner applied for correction after 12 years of examination.
