SALEHA PARVIN Vs. STATE OF WEST BENGAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE point of controversy raised by the petitioner is perhaps a part of a misgiving shared by many by their common experience. The misgiving at times is genuine, at times bred by a cynic scepticism.

(2.) THE petitioner obtained her M.A. in Bengali in the year 2012 from Aliah University. She applied for admission to the B.Ed course of 2013 -14 in Bengali to the University of Burdwan. According to her it was specifically stipulated in the notification that subject -wise provisional merit list along with waiting list would be prepared on the basis of the grade points to be computed as per the norms specified therein. The petitioner got 38.76 grade point according to her qualification.

(3.) THEREAFTER the university conducted the fifth counseling in all the subjects including Bengali. Two lists were published for fresh candidates for the fifth counseling and for the in -house students of the Burdwan University a separate list of candidates for the fifth counseling had been published. It has been the grievance of the petitioner that many of those who belonged to the Burdwan University were called for the fifth counseling but she was never considered for the same. According to her it was never mentioned in the information sheet that candidates belonging to the Burdwan University would be given preference to those who belonged to other universities and the information sheet was also silent about any deduction of marks while preparing her grade point as she belonged to an outside university.
