This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to furnish the evaluated answer script of the minor petitioner Master Tanzil Mujeeb Yacoob. 2.Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the learned Deputy Solicitor General of India had already handed over a copy of the evaluated answer sheet to the learned counsel for the petitioner. 3.Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner stands satisfied. Additionally, it must be seen that education is not about learning concepts alone. If the teacher gives a mark less even by mistake, the student should have the heart to accept and move on. This is also an important part of education.
