TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 17801 OF 2011 (A) ===================== Dated this the 11th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The prayers sought in this writ petition are as follows:- i) issue of writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing the respondents to publish the revaluation result of the petitioner in the subject of Chemistry. ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, or order directing the respondents to produce the answer sheets before this Hon'ble Court immediately after the revaluation if the petitioner secures the very same upon revaluation. 2. According to the petitioner, she has already applied for revaluation and remitted an amount of `300/- as per Ext.P3 chellan receipt. Despite having applied, revaluation was not made and therefore the writ petition was filed. 3. On instructions, learned standing counsel submits that the CBSE does not have any regulation for revaluation, but the regulation permits only verification. He also relies on the judgment of tis Court in Amritha Reji v. Union of India (2010 (4) KLT 571), in support of the position canvassed by him. 4. A student has a right to apply for revaluation of his answer papers only if the regulations make provision for the WPC No. 17801/11 :2 : same. In this case, petitioner has not been able to point out any regulation entitling her to seek revaluation of the answer papers. In the light of the position as above and in the light of the stand taken by the respondents, the prayer sought in the writ petition is only to be rejected and I do so. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
