Mr. Parchure, counsel for the R-1 & 4. Mr. Jichkar, Assistant Government Pleader for the R-2. CORAM : D.D.SINHA AND SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATE : FEBRUARY 27, 2008. Heard. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is that the respondent no.1 Board is conducting Xth standard examination at village Linga and the petitioner no.2 School used to be the centre for the examination for the last nine years. The learned for the petitioner has submitted that the examination for all these years were properly conducted by the petitioner no.2 School and there was no occasion for the Board this time to grant the examination centre to some other School at Sonegaon. It is further contended that the shifting of examination centre from village Linga to village Sonegaon is also inconvenient to the students, belonging to village linga, who will be appearing in the examination, and therefore, the 2 decision taken by the Board is not in the interest of the students. It is further contended that there is no transport facility also. Mr. Parchure, the learned counsel for the Board has not disputed that for the last few years, the examination centre was at village Linga and the petitioner no.2 School was conducting the examination at village Linga. However, it is not correct to say that there was no complaints about the examination centre at village Linga. In fact, in the year March-2005, the Conductor and the Additional Conductor, who were in-charge of the examination, were punished after following due procedure of law in view of the complaint received by the Board. It is further contended that the examination centre which is now at Sonegaon is not at all inconvenient to the students appearing in the examination, on the other hand, it is in the middle of both the villages i.e. village Linga and village Uparwahi. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the respective counsel. At the outset, we must express that the petitioners have no legal right to ask for examination center of their choice and in absence of any legal right, the petition can be dismissed on this short count. However, in order to find out whether the shifting of centre adversely affects the students who will be appearing in the Xth 3 standard examination, we asked Mr. Parchure, the learned counsel for the respondent no.1 Board to seek instructions in this regard and appraise this Court about this aspect. After hearing both the sides, it appears that the examination centre which is at village Sonegaon, does not make much of a difference for the students who belong to village Linga and village Uparwahi. We are, therefore, of the view that no case is made out for showing indulgence in the present writ petition, hence, the same is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE APTE
