Cuttack: The Orissa high court has directed the Board of Secondary Examination (BSE), Odisha, to make arrangements for a girl to reappear for the Sanskrit paper in Class X board exam.

The result of the girl’s High School Certificate (HSC) exam, conducted in 2022, was withheld after different handwritings were found in the her answer script. Following which, her father moved the court.

The BSE, in its counter affidavit, stated that an inquiry found that Ganapati Das, who had evaluated the girl’s answer script, had admitted to have written the answers.

Justice A K Mohapatra said that the court too found two different handwritings on the answer scripts but the entire blame cannot be put on the petitioner’s daughter since the examiner had admitted to have written the answers. “This court deems it proper to direct the board authorities to make necessary arrangement, thereby enabling the petitioner’s daughter to appear in the Sanskrit paper once again,” the judge stated in his October 19 order.
