Petitioner filed the complaint against Board of School Education Haryana seeking compensation for spoiling one year of the complainant by not declaring the result.  As a consequence thereof, she could not take admission in the next class.

          District Forum allowed the complaint and directed the respondents to declare the result and pay the compensation of Rs.20,000/-.  State Commission, on appeal filed by the respondent, reversed the order passed by the District Forum.

          Supreme Court in Bihar School Examination Board vs. Suresh Prasad Sinha – (2009)8 SCC 483 has held that the process of holding examinations, evaluating answer scripts, declaring results and issuing certificates are different stages of a single statutory non-commercial function.  That a complaint is not maintainable against the Educations Boards under the Consumer Protection Act. 

In view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Bihar School Examination Board’s case (supra), complaint before the District Forum filed by the petitioner was not maintainable against the respondent education board.

We do not find any merit in this Revision Petition.  Dismissed.
