Abstract. The “Nainital–Cape Survey” program for searching photometric
variability in chemically peculiar (CP) stars was initiated in 1997
at ARIES, Nainital. We present here the results obtained to date. The Am
stars HD 98851, HD 102480, HD 13079 and HD 113878 were discovered
to exhibit δ Scuti type variability. Photometric variability was also discovered
in HD 13038, for which the type of peculiarity and variability is
not fully explained. The null results of this survey are also presented and
discussed.
