AGNIBESH SENGUPTA Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Having heard the learned Advocates appearing on behalf of the parties, it appears that the grievance of the writ petitioner is in respect of marks secured by him in the Higher Secondary Examination held in the year 2009. According to the writ petitioner, he has been awarded low marks in Bengal, Physics and Biological Science papers in the said examination.

(2.) The instant writ petition has been filed in this Court on 3rd, December, 2009, whereas the result of the writ petitioner was published by the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (hereinafter referred to as the 'Council') on 28th May, 2009. It also appears that the writ petitioner applied for post publication scrutiny of his answer scripts through Bikna Khirode Prasad Smrity Vidyapith, gankura, but the result showed no change of marks and the position remain unaltered. THE post publication scrutiny result, according to the writ petitioner, was received by him through the concerned school on 18th July, 2009.

(3.) The above Regulation clearly indicates a time frame for the purpose of preservation of records. In the facts of the instant case, the answer scripts of the writ petitioner were to be kept preserved by the Council for three months from the date of publication of the result of the post publication scrutiny. That three months elapsed in October, 2009, since the writ petitioner himself has stated in paragraph 6 of the writ petition that he received the post publication scrutiny result on 18th July, 2009.
