Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that de- spite this petitioner having given authoritative answers to the questions, still he has secured 65 marks and, whereas, the objec- tions with respect to 12 questions with authoritative answer have already been provided still, such objections have not been adjudicated. 4. It is next submitted that even the principles of nor- malization, which also forms part of the advertisement no. PR 218/2025, appears not to have been invoked in the case of the petitioner. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Bihar School Examination Board, submits that since the appropriate representation with objections have al- ready been filed, the petitioner may be directed to file a detailed representation in the light of the order passed by this Court and, on filing of such representation within the time so fixed, the same shall be adjudicated and necessary order shall be passed and, if the petitioner is found eligible then further action shall be Patna High Court CWJC No.2732 of 2026(2) dt.18-02-2026 3/3 taken. Learned counsel for the B.S.E.B. further submits that the experts have already been employed for adjudicating the objec- tions and once such objections are there, the same shall be adju- dicated. 6. Considering the submissions of the parties, this Court is of the view that instead of keeping this matter pending, the petitioner be directed to file representation with all such de- tails for adjudication within a period of one week, referring to his earlier representation, which is said to have been filed and, even the issues of normalization in terms of the advertisement may also be raised, if the same has not been raised for consider- ation by the authorities concerned. 7. On filing such representation, the representation so filed by the petitioner, shall be adjudicated within a period of two weeks from the date of filing of such representation by the petitioner. 8. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the writ application stands disposed of. shikha/- (Ajit Kumar, J) U
