RAKHI Appellant
VERSUS
State of U.P. and Ors. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

Dilip Gupta, J. - (1.) THE petitioner, who had appeared at the examination for selection to the post of Constable conducted by the U.P. Police Recruitment and Promotion Board, is aggrieved by her non -selection.
(2.) IT is stated that the petitioner belongs to the OBC female category and has obtained 76.1256 marks but she was not selected even though persons having lesser marks than the petitioner have been selected. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents, on instructions, states that though the petitioner obtained 76.1256 marks and the last selected candidate in this category obtained 70.0876 marks but the petitioner has not been selected as she had not been able to clear Part I and Part II of the question paper in which she was required to obtain at least 16.666 marks. He has further pointed out that the Board had taken a policy decision to award marks to all the candidates for these four wrong questions and candidates have been awarded the marks. Learned Standing Counsel also states that the examination was based on objective type of questions and the answers were given on OMR sheet and the marks have been awarded after checking from the OMR Scanner.
(3.) THE allegations made in the petition that marks have not been properly awarded are very vague and since the answer books have been checked by the OMR Scanner, there is no scope for any mistake in the marks awarded to the petitioner. The apprehension of the petitioner that marks have not been properly given is, therefore, without any basis. This apart, in the absence of any provision for revaluation of the answer books, it is not possible to issue any direction for revaluation of the answer books. The learned Standing Counsel has also pointed out that marks have been uniformly awarded to all the candidates for the wrong questions and that the petitioner was not selected as she did not clear Part I Part II of the paper. In such circumstances, no relief can be granted to the petitioner.;
