Recalculate Marks Awarded In Administrative Law Paper : Bombay HC Directs College In Final Year Law Student's Petition [Read Order]

The Bombay High Court on Monday directed the Savitribai Phule Pune University and Director, Board of Examination and Evaluation to recalculate the marks obtained by a final year law student in the 'administrative law' paper in the ninth semester held in December 2019 as he contended that there has been an arithmetical error in calculating the marks. A division bench of Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice NR Borkar were hearing a writ petition filed by Varad Kolhe, who secured 41 marks in the administrative law paper but contended that there has been an arithmetic mistake in adding up the marks awarded to him. Finally, the bench observed- "Considering the rival submissions, we direct Respondent Nos.1 and 2 to re-calculate the marks awarded to the Petitioner in the 'Administrative Law' Paper without in any manner reevaluating the answers given by the Petitioner.
