Filing a writ is always upon your discretion, however, the Court will have to look up the matter from a legal point of view as well, and not only on merits. The subject matter involved here is very subjective. The Court will be inclined to follow the norms of Administrative Law first and might have to limit its outreach against the concerned Board in light of well-laid out rules and a lack of a strong, compelling cause of action.

Therefore, it is for you to judge if you would want to go ahead and contest the matter or not. I believe 99% in 10th is quite a commendable score and one should look forward to more constructive issues from that sort of a height.
