The President Board Of Secondary ... vs D. Suvankar & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Orissa High Court's decision that there is no provision for revaluation of answer sheets by the Board, as per the established rules. However, the Court affirmed the High Court's award of Rs.20,000/- to the respondent for the Board's negligence in misreporting marks, which was rectified later. The judgment emphasized the importance of finality in public examination results and the reluctance of courts to interfere in academic matters unless there is clear negligence or injustice.
