1 - 7 of 7 (0.26 seconds)Maharashtra State Board Of Secondary ... vs Paritosh Bhupesh Kumar Sheth Etc on 17 July, 1984
7. The question arises for consideration in this O.A is about
revaluation or re-examination of answer sheets. We are not at all inclined
to accept the applicant's claim for correction of result, which is on the
basis of presumption that he has done well but has wrongly been awarded
lesser marks. There is always a presumption that every act has been done
correctly. There is also no provision or rule empowering the respondents
to recheck / re-evaluate the answer sheet of the examination in question.
Our view finds support from the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in
the case of Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher
Secondary Education & Anr. Vs. Paritosh Bhupesh Kurmarsheth
etc.etc. AIR 1984 SC 1543, wherein Hon'ble Apex Court rejected the
contention that in absence of provision for re-evaluation, a direction to this
effect can be issued by the Court. Apex Court further held that even the
policy decision incorporated in the Rules/Regulations not providing for

rechecking/verification/re-evaluation cannot be challenged unless there
are grounds to show that the policy itself is in violation of some statutory
provision. The Apex Court held as under:

Dr. Muneeb Ul Rehman Haroon & Ors. Vs. Government of Jammu &

Education Vs. Pravas Ranjan Panda and Anr (2004) 13 SCC 383.
Pramod Kumar Srivastava vs Chairman, Bihar Public Service ... on 6 August, 2004
8. The above view has been approved and relied upon and further
re-iterated by the Apex Court in Pramod Kumar Srivastava Vs.
Chairman, Bihar Public Service Commission, Patna & Ors,
AIR 2004 SC 4116 observing as under:
The President Board Of Secondary ... vs D. Suvankar & Anr on 14 November, 2006
9. A similar view has been reiterated in President, Board of
Secondary Education, Orissa & Anr. Vs. D. Suvankar & Anr.
(2007) 1 SCC 603 and Sahiti & Ors. Vs. Chancellor, Dr. N.T.R.
University of Health Sciences & Ors. (2009) 1 SCC 599. Thus, the law
on the subject emerges to the effect that in absence of any provision
under the Statute or Statutory Rules/Regulations, the Court should not
generally direct revaluation.
Prem Prakash Sinha vs State Of Chhattisgarh on 29 January, 2016
3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the respondents
have failed to evaluate properly the answer book of the applicant and not
awarded marks for the correct answer for the question no. 6. Thus, the
evaluators violated the Instruction to Valuers for Income Tax Examination
and not awarded separate marks for the parts/subparts/steps thereof and
awarded zero marks out of 20 marks. Learned counsel for the applicant
further submitted that the action of the respondents in rejecting the
representations of the applicant on the ground that rule does not allow for
re-evaluation of answer books is discriminatory as the DIT (IT), New Delhi
had revised the result of the ITO-2012 Examination vide order dated
20.05.2013 in similar circumstances in which answer of five objective
questions of Paper-I were found erroneous. Learned counsel for the
applicant has also cited the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of
Chhattisgarh dated 07.02.2013 passed in W.P. No. 2663/2012 - Prem
Prakash Sinha Vs. State of Chhattisgarh & Ors and the order of this
Tribunal dated 24.07.2024 passed in OA No. 540/2017 - Deepak
Kumar & Anr. Vs. UOI & Ors and submitted that the OA may be allowed
and the relief may be given to the applicant.
