Admittedly, if any candidate, who seeks revaluation of his answer scripts for the examination conducted in March 2004, has to apply to the Intermediate Board on or before 31st May 2004 as per the policy taken by the Intermediate Board for such revaluation. It is not in dispute that for a Xerox copy of answer sheet of the petitioner for Chemistry paper was applied on 10-5-2004 and it was received by the petitioner on 31.5.2004. In view of the same, the petitioner either could have been applied on 31-5-04 or on the next working day i.e., 4-6-2004 for such revaluation. The very fact that the petitioner has applied for revaluation on 02-9-2004 itself shows that she is not serious in seeking for revaluation. The contention that the petitioner approached the Principal of the College, who assured her that he would take the permission from the authorities concerned, cannot be accepted for the reason that the petitioner has to apply to the Board of Intermediate for such revaluation if any. In view of the same, no case is made out by the petitioner for ordering revaluation and the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________ 05-10-2004 Kvrk To 1. The Secretary, Board of Intermediate Education, Vidya Bhavan, Nampally, Hyderabad 2. Two CD copies.
