IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8739 of 2006 SURENDRA SINGH Son of Ramjee Singh, Resident of Village-Aura Malikana, P.S-Tariyani Chowk, Dist-Sheohar…………………………………… petitioner. Versus 1. THE SECRETARY,B.S.EXAM.BOARD, Patna 2. The Principal, S.M.Zaheer Alam Physical Training College, Bahera Darbhanga, Bihar……………………Respondents ----------- For petitioner :-Mr. Nachiketa Jha, Adv For Respondent:-Mr. Suresh Chandra Giri 14/ 12-Nov-08 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner has prayed for publication of his result of C.P.Ed Examination taken by the petitioner in the year 1994. He claims to be a student of C.P.Ed Course of the S.M.Z. Alam Physical Training College, Bahera, Darbhanga for the session 87-88. The Bihar School Examination Board has taken the stand that 95 students of this Institute including the petitioner were permitted to take examination for the year 1994 but the internal assessment marks of petitioner and others were not received from Institution therefore all those whose internal assessment marks were received, only their results were published. This writ petition has been filed after a delay of about 12 years and it is specific case of the Bihar School Examination Board that due to 2 paucity of space relevant answer sheet and documents are destroyed by the Board after such a long years and therefore the writ petition has been filed after deliberate delay. The Board has seriously disputed the claim of the College and of the petitioner that the internal assessment marks of petitioner and some others whose results were withheld had been communicated by Annexure-A in 1994 itself. The counter affidavit of the Board in Paragraph-14 rightly questions as to why by Annexure-A dated 21.9.1994 allegedly internal assessment marks were sent only of 32 candidates when 95 candidates of that session from the said college had appeared in the C.P.Ed Examination in the year 1994. There is no plausible answer to that question nor there is any material to show that Annexure-A was actually sent to the Board or received by the Board in the year 1994. In the facts of the case, this Court finds no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly, dismissed both on ground of delay as well as on merits. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
