The petitioner, named Ravinder Nath dubey, has been teaching accountancy for the past 26 years.

Asserting that accountancy examination is on March 3, the petitioner sought court`s direction to immediately remove eight fundamentally and conceptually wrong answers from the CBSE`s website.

"If the students write these wrong answers in the board examinations, the examiners may deduct 7-8 marks of students," Dubey rued.

A bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice C. Hari Shankar called the petition "frivolous" and imposed a hefty fine on him.

"You are not talking about an exam paper but sample papers. The model papers are for students` practice," the bench said.

When the petitioner retorted that he has come with a proof, the court said, "The fine can be increased. I don`t want to do it."
