Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE), Lahore, on the orders of Punjab Ombudsman Abdur Rashid Khan, has restored the marks originally given to a candidate by the sub-examiner, which had earlier been reduced by the head examiner.
According to a news release, complainant Mirza Abdul Rashid submitted that his daughter Rahima Rashid, who obtained 857/1100 marks in F.Sc (2006) from BISE Lahore got her paper/Biology part II re-checked and found that the head examiner had reduced marks awarded by the sub-examiner in the paper on the ground that the candidate had been guilty of act of over-writing while ticking various options in the objective part of the paper.
The complainant took the plea that the reduction of marks by the head examiner and endorsement of that reduction by the board was illegal. He requested Mohtasib Secretariat that reduction of 23 numbers by head examiner be declared as illegal, so that her daughter could get admission to institutions of higher education. Punjab Ombudsman after thorough investigation directed BISE to restore the marks originally given by sub examiner.
The BISE, Lahore, submitted a representation before the Governor against the aforesaid order of the Ombudsman, which was rejected by the Governor and the Ombudsman's order was upheld.
