IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11383 of 2009 RAJ KISHORE PRASAD . Versus THE BIHAR SCHOOL EXAMINATION BOARA & ORS. For the Petitioner: Birmani Kumar, Adv. For Respondents/Board: Sunil Kumar Mandal, Adv. ----------- 3/ 05/04/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State as also for the respondent Bihar School Examination Board. The petitioner claims to have passed the Intermediate Science Examination in 1986 and desires the duplicate copy of his mark-sheet and admit card. A counter affidavit of the respondent states that the admit card has been issued. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not deny the same. This Court cannot lose sight of the long period of time which is passed since 1986 and is therefore not persuaded to give any positive directions for issuance of a duplicate mark-sheet within a time frame, but simply observes that it expects that the Board shall make an endeavour to hunt out its old records and then at the earliest possible time, subject to availability, furnish the duplicate copy of the mark-sheet. The writ application stands disposed with observation. KC/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
