IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16310 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision : November 01, 2011. Amandeep Kaur .....Petitioner versus Union of India and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.G.S.Kaura, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner appeared in the All India Civil Services (preliminary) examination, 2011 and having failed to qualify has approached this Court seeking the production of her answer sheets. The petitioner avers that she has consistently performed well in academic and competitive examinations including in the above mentioned preliminary and main examinations of the year 2010. The petitioner applied for copies of her answer sheets under the Right to Information Act, 2005 but the Information Officer has declined to supply those copies at this stage on the plea that the process of the Civil Services Examination, 2011 is not complete. The above stated order is appealable before the Appellate CWP No.16310 of 2011 [2] Authority. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length, I am of the considered view that it would not be expedient and in the interest of the purity of the selection process to cause any interference by holding a fishing enquiry by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. Suffice it to observe that if the petitioner after receipt of the requisite information would be able to make out a case to justify interference by this Court in exercise of its extra-ordinary writ jurisdiction, such a remedy shall always remain open to her. However, for the time being, the petitioner needs to have recourse to the remedies available under the Right to Information Act, 2005. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of relegating the petitioner to the remedy of appeal under the Right to Information Act, 2005. Having regard to the nature of urgency involved, the Appellate Authority is directed to decide the petitioner's appeal as early as possible but not later than one month from the date of filing of the appeal. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. November 01, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
