and
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR SINGH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE)
The petitioner contends that several irregularities have taken place in the examination and results thereof do not reflect the actual performance.
Patna High Court CWJC No.8991 of 2015 (2) dt.29-06-2015
2/2
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents.
The petitioner does not have anything to do with the examination. He is not the one who has participated in the same. It is only when a student, who has participated in the examination, approaches this Court and pleads that he suffered detriment on account of any acts of omission or commission on the part of the authorities, that it can consider the feasibility of examining the matter. A person who is totally unconnected with the examination cannot be permitted to seek the relief of quashing the entire result, which would affect the career of thousands of students.
We, therefore, dismiss the writ petition.
