In this writ application, petitioners have sought for a direction to the respondents authorities of the Board to publish their results which have been withheld by the Board and their candidatures have been cancelled by an order of the Secretary dated 18.8.2000. From the order passed by this Court in - 2 - the matter of the Institution in question, i.e. Central Sharirik Shaikshik Prashikshan Parishad, Sitamarhi, as contained in Annexure-6 to the writ application, it appears that the Institution had sponsored 206 candidates for appearing in the examination held by the Board on the specific undertaking that it will produce relevant documents to establish the genuineness of the candidates. Since the Institution did not produce documents within time before the Board, the Board cancelled the candidature of the petitioners and other students. Case of the petitioners is that although the Institution could not produce relevant documents to establish the genuineness of the petitioners and others, petitioners are in a position to satisfy the authorities of the Board with regard to their genuineness. In this connection, learned counsel for the petitioners has drawn the attention of this Court to an order dated 21.5.2007 passed by a Bench of this Court in C.W.J.C.No.11785 of 2006 and other analogous cases in which the petitioners were the students of the same Institution. Learned single Judge disposed of the writ applications - 3 - on the premises that the writ petitioners were not given any opportunity to establish their genuineness. Accordingly, said batch of writ applications was disposed of by the learned single Judge with following directions : “According, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to appear before the Secretary of the Board and to satisfy the Board that they were genuine/regular students of the institution in question and appreciating their regular status, the board had given them admit cards for appearing in the said examination not only in 1994 but also in the year 1988 and if the Secretary is satisfied that the petitioners were regular students of the institution in question, then he will pass an appropriate order in accordance with law.” Learned counsel for the petitioners prays that the same liberty be granted to the petitioners also and if the petitioners are able to satisfy the Secretary of the Board with regard to the genuineness of their candidature as regular students of the institution, then their results should be published. Learned counsel for the Board does not oppose this prayer of the petitioners and submits that the petitioners may approach the Secretary of the Board along with the orders of this Court passed in earlier batch of cases as - 4 - quoted above. In view of the rival stand of the parties, this batch of writ applications is disposed of in terms of the order dated 21.5.2007 passed in the batch of cases i.e. C.W.J.C.No.11785 of 2006 and other analogous cases.
