Would-be
law student takes question paper to courts A Police officer, Sirimanne Gunasekera of Panadura, attached to Police Headquarters who sat for the examination held on September 11 filed a petition in the Court of Appeal. The respondents are the Commissioner General of Examinations, Registrar of The Council of Legal Education, Dr. J.H.F. de. Silva and Justice Minister W.D.J. Seneviratne. The petitioner states that many questions were outside the scope and syllabus and had no relevance whatsoever. He states that the questions out of the syllabus totals up to 19% of the maximum marks. The petitioner is seeking Court to issue notice to the respondents, make order directing the first respondent from releasing the results of the examination held on the September 11, to quash the entire examination or to refuse to take into consideration the questions that were outside the syllabus. Among the questions that he claims were out of context are on what the objective was of the "Regaining Sri Lanka" programme of the Government introduced in 2003, the number of nations which participated at the Olympic Games held in 2004, to write three ways in which a country's production could be computed and what the facets of accountability were. |
