Class 12 student transferred to High Court for 1 point, gets 28 | Bhopal News
Bhopal: Three years ago, a class 12 student moved the high court for “one point”. Three days ago the result came in his favor – Shantanu Shukla’s re-evaluation showed that he got 28 points more than before.
Shukla had passed the Class 12 MP board exams in 2018 and scored 74.8% making him ineligible for the state government’s Medhavi Chatra scheme. Shukla said he was sure he would get somewhere between 75 and 85 percent. A commerce student from Sagar, Shukla said, “I was disappointed after the announcement of the results as I only got 50 points in Bookkeeping and Accounting. I expected a lot more so I decided to go ahead with the re-totalization option (re-calculation of the total marks given by the examiner in any subject) with the jury PM. I applied for it and submitted the fee of Rs 5,000,” he told TOI.
The new total was unsatisfactory, whereupon he requested to obtain original answer sheets and showed them to the business experts. “They alerted me to negligence in checking my answer sheet.
Shukla spoke to his family and a lawyer helped him move the court. The lawyer told him that cases related to education are heard directly by the High Court.
A petition was filed in the Jabalpur High Court and there were 44 hearings. An additional amount of Rs 10,000 was also spent in the court case. The court gave advice to the board. In October last year, the court ordered a reassessment, Shantanu said.
The new result announced three days ago showed a 28-point increase in bookkeeping and accounting.
“I fought for one point but got 28,” he said.
