1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.749 OF 2009 (Ku. Lalita d/o Deorao Kewat and others vs. Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education and another) ___________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 18, 2009 Heard Shri Mardikar, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and Shri Parchure, learned Counsel for the respondent no.1. The grievance of the petitioners is in respect of allotment of Centre for S.S.C. Examination scheduled to be held in March 2009. Shri Parchure, learned Counsel for the respondent no.1, states that students of respondent no.2 School, which is located at Dongarla, now will have to appear in the examination at Centre at Tumsar, which is only 3 kms. away from Dongarla. It is submitted that petitioners had requested for Centre at Sihora and the distance between Sihora and Dongarla is about 7-8 kms. In the backdrop of the above referred 2 facts, it appears that students, who are from Dongarla, are required to appear for the S.S.C. Examination at the Centre located at Tumsar, which is only 3 kms. away and, therefore, allotment of Centre by the respondent no.1 appears to be in the interest of students. Even otherwise, the individual students have no locus to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution seeking direction in respect of allotment of Centre at a particular place. The petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE khj
