Before providing certified copies/inspection of evaluated answer books to the examinees, verification of answer books, within the scope of Regulation 39(4), will be carried out, by the office, suo motu, in respect of all applications for inspection and/or certified copy of evaluated answer book(s).
Verification under Regulation 39(4) covers the following aspects:

However, it may be noted that re-evaluation of answers is not permissible under Regulation 39(4).
As such, you need not make a separate application for verification.

No. Re-evaluation of evaluated answer books is not permitted as per CA Regulations 1988.
9. I applied for certified copies of my evaluated answer books and received them. I notice that the marks awarded on the answer books are different from the marks on my mark sheet? Why is it so?
