I.M.Quddusi, J. - (1.) These are three connected writ petitions involving common question and, therefore, these petitions are decided by a common order.
(2.) In the Writ Petition No. 41361 of 1998. It has been stated that the petitioners are regular students of Intermediate and High School Classes of Janta Intermediate College, Ahiraula, district Azamgarh who are to appear in the U. P. Board Examination in the academic year 1999. The Institution is a recognised one. Prior to 1998 for the last several years, the Centre of High School and Intermediate Examinations conducted by the U. P. Board was the same institution but in the year 1997, the Centre Superintendent had committed a mistake, i.e., he opened packet of paper before the scheduled date, on which the examination committee considered the matter and debarred the Centre Superintendent for 10 years and to function as Invigilator for 5 years and also not to make the Institution in question, i.e., Janta Intermediate College. Ahiraula. Azamgarh as examination centre for 5 years.
(3.) The grievance of the petitioners is that they have no concern with the punishments awarded to the Centre Superintendent and the teachers/invigilators for opening the packet of paper before the scheduled date, but no fault of the students, they are being penalised by shifting the examination centre from Janta Intermediate College to Maan Sharda Higher Secondary School. Shambhoopur, Azamgarh. A large number of regular college students are going to appear in the Intermediate and High School examinations from that institution. A representation was also made in this regard to the Secretary. Board of High School and Intermediate Education, U. P.. Allahabad but nothing has been done. It has also been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that last year, one girl student, namely, Poonam Singh who was coming from the examination centre towards her house met with an accident and died. There is also no place of stay at Shambhoopur for these girl students and it has also no direct main or link road.;
