Giri, Sr. Advocate, Raju Giri, Ashish Giri and Sudhir Kumar. For the CBSE : Mr. Vinay Krishna Tripathy. ____ 05. 19.8.2011 Many writ applications came to be filed by the students who sat in 10+2 Examination conducted by the CBSE 3 in the year 2011. Since there was large scale failure reported in mathematics as well as some other papers, big hue and cry was raised by the candidates not only before the CBSE for re- evaluation/re-totalling but even in the media as well as writ applications came to be filed thereafter. Since a large number of students were directly affected by the result also included certain candidates who had done well in the competitive examinations, the Court decided to set up a committee to do a random check of the answer-sheets of the candidates in various subjects especially those of the petitioners, who were before this Court. A committee of three persons was set up. Two names came to be recommended by the Court who have a name and reputation in the field and one person came to be nominated by the Chairman, CBSE. This was based on the direction issued by the Court on 29.7.2011. The committee has tendered a report in sealed cover to Court for its perusal. The committee has meticulously done their job and given a report and have also opined that on random examination of the answer scripts marks have been awarded quite accurately and according to the marking scheme. If this is the opinion of the members of the committee who have nothing to do with CBSE then there is no reason to disbelieve their finding and embark on any other investigation or enquiry in this regard. The committee has 4 specially examined the answer-sheets of all the petitioners and no infirmity which can be said to be glaring in any manner has been pointed out. In view of the same, learned counsels representing the petitioners would not like to push the matter any further. Matter is allowed to rest. Writ applications are dismissed. The report tendered to the Court is being returned to the counsel appearing on behalf of the CBSE for their record. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
