THE REGIONAL OFFICER CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION, 35- BMG MARG, CIVIL LINE, ALLAHABAD 211 001 3. THE CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATION CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION, 35- BMG MARG, CIVIL LINES, ALLAHABAD 211 001 ----------- 2. 30.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Central Board of Secondary Examination. Learned counsel for the petitioner confines the submission in this writ application to the relief of being permitted to peruse the answer sheets of the petitioner in the Secondary School Examination, 2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to place before this Court any statutory provisions regulating the right of the petitioner to that effect. Now that the examinations are over, in view of the limited nature of the relief sought which this Court considers beneficial to the academic improvement of the petitioner only, the writ petition is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner approaches the authority of the respondent Board, it may consider permitting the petitioner perusal only of the answer 2 sheets in the office of the Board without anything further more, by way of taking notes etc. It is expected that the Board shall act expeditiously on any such request without unnecessary harassment to the petitioner. The application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
