Ms. Namrata Mishra ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 05-09-2018 The petitioner is seeking direction to respondentBihar School Examination Board to supply true copies of the answer-sheets of the petitioner of her Annual Intermediate Examination, held in the year 2018 by the Bihar School Examination Board.

From the pleadings on record, it appears that the petitioner has invoked Right to Information Act for supply of the said answer-sheets in June 2018.

I do not find any reason to entertain the relief, which is being sought in the present writ application, since the

Patna High Court CWJC No.17485 of 2018(2) dt.05-09-2018 2/2 petitioner has a remedy under the Right to Information Act which she has already invoked.

Mr. Surendra Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, contends that, despite making of application in June 2018 under the Right to Information Act, information has not been supplied.

It goes without saying that the petitioner has a remedy of appeal under the Right to Information Act in case of nonsupply of the document, which she can avail. With the observation that the petitioner shall have liberty to avail her remedy under the Right to Information act, this application stands disposed of.
