M.P.Singh - (1.) HIMTAJ Maha Vidyalaya Newarhia, District Jaunpur is a Degree College affiliated to Purvanchal University, Jaunpur. The petitioner no. 1 is the student of B. Sc Part-II and petitioner no. 2 of B. Sc. Part-I in the said Degree College. Both appeared in the examination in year, 1993.
(2.) THE examinations are conducted by the Purvanchal University according to the U. P. State Universities Act and the Statute. THE examination Committee of the University conducts the examination under its supervision. The University appointed Dr. R. P. Singh, the Lecturer in the Degree College as centre superintendent. In addition to that in order to conduct the examination fairly, flying squads of the teachers and officials of the University have been constituted which during the conduct of the examination visit institutions and submit report. Every centre maintains a register known as "Flying squad visit register". Each visit of the said squad is recorded. The convener puts his signature in the squad Register after noting its observations and comments in the register. " During the course of examination in the said Degree College nine times Flying squad visited the centre. At no point of time it reported about any unfairness in the conduct of the examination or allegation of mass copying.
(3.) B. Sc. Part-I examination was held on 13-8-1993 and in the register the flying squad has made endorsement that the examination was conducted satisfactorily. There was no report of using unfairmeans. The B. Sc. Part-II examination was held on 14-8-1993. The report of the flying squad is that the conduct of the examination was very good". Obviously it ruled out a case of mass copying. The said endorsements have been signed by Dr. R. P. Singh, the convener of the squad. It appears that subsequently Dr. R. P. Singh gave a different information to the Vice-Chancellor of the University expressing his doubt about the fairness of the examination conducted in the said Degree college. After getting the report from Dr. R. P. Singh, the Vice-Chancellor appointed Dr. Dhananjay Singh as observer and directed him to visit the Degree College and submit his report. He visited the said college on 23-8-1993 and gave his report on the seme day. His report also shows that there was no evidence of mass copying or any irregularity in the conduct of the examination.;
