WPC NO. 36478 OF 2004 Dated, this the 20th day of February, 2007 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed challenging revaluation done in the Physics and Biology papers of the petitioner in the SSLC Examination. Petitioner got improvement on revaluation by getting one mark more in both subjects, making her above 90% plus in both subjects. Even though the counsel attempted to demonstrate in Court that some of the answers deserve better marks, I am unable to be persuaded for referring the matter for another valuation because on going through the answers in disputed questions, I am not satisfied that those are perfect answers warranting reward of full marks. In the circumstance, this writ petition fails and is therefore dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jg
