Harassed at the hands of CBSE officials,Pranay Jain a dyslexic student,who was video graphed at the time of examination has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking compensation in the form of grace marks or re-examination of his AIEEE examination.

The petitioner has also requested the High Court to consider his candidature for reservation under the physically handicapped quota. In his application,Jain has narrated the trauma he had to undergo while giving the examination. As soon as the petitioner settled in his allotted seat in the examination hall before the commencement of Paper-1,he was called outside the hall by two persons who just looked at him and asked him to go back to his seat. The petitioner was paraded in front of the videographer to be identified as the child whose video was to be shot. For four hours during which the petitioner (Jain) attempted to solve paper-1 ,the camera remained exclusively focused on him for more than 3-1/2 hours reads the application.

For paper-II,which commenced at 2 PM,the camera was positioned on a vacant desk right adjacent to the desk on which the petitioner was seated and Jain was exclusively videographed for almost four hours,Jain has maintained his application.

Like any other student,Jain was quite nervous and stressed about appearing in AIEEE 2010. The provision of extra time granted by the Court was only for the purpose of providing equal opportunity to the petitioner as against other students in view of his peculiar disability. The purpose of granting extra-time was to make him feel comfortable and confident that he would be able to attempt all the questions the application states.

Taking a dig at CBSE,the petitioner has submitted,There is no provision in the CBSE examination laws for the videography of any candidate. Candidates are not videographed even in case of unfair means. It is not understood as to how and under what authority CBSE directed for the exclusive videography of the petitioner which was a deliberate attempt to humiliate and punish the petitioner,so that he dare not ask for any kind of relief again. CBSE was successful in this mischief because the petitioner was extremely conscious of the fact that he was being exclusively videographed that he lost his concentration and could not perform well.
