This Writ Petition coming on for Preliminary Hearing this day, the court made the following:
O R D E R Learned AGA is permitted to accept notice for the respondents.
2. The petitioner has sought for writ of mandamus directing respondent Nos.1 and 2 to issue the Hall Ticket to the petitioner for the examinations scheduled during March/April-2019, notified on 11.12.2018 in terms of Annexure-D to the writ petition.
3. Petitioner is claiming to be the student of 10th Standard of St. Josephs Indian High School. It is the grievance of the petitioner that no Hall Ticket has been issued to him permitting to appear for the SSLC examination. It is not in dispute that the Time Table for SSLC examination was announced by notification dated 11.12.2018 in terms of which examination commenced from 21.03.2019. That being so, the petitioner has approached this Court today at the fag end of the examination schedule.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that if the petitioner is permitted to appear for the last examination on 04.04.2019, he would be eligible to take up the supplementary examination. It is ex-facie apparent that the petitioner has raised from the slumber at the nth hour seeking for relief before this Court to appear for the examination scheduled on 04.04.2019 albeit not appearing for other subjects. The examination commenced from 21.03.2019. Lackadaisical attitude of the petitioner is manifest. It appears to be a chance litigation. More over, at this stage, it would be causing unnecessary inconvenience to the respondent-department in preparing the necessary documents and finally would be incomplete.
Writ petition is devoid of merits. Accordingly, writ petition stands dismissed.
