The petitioner appeared for the supplementary 6th semester B.Tech degree examination in Electronics and Communication Engineering held in December, 2008 by the Calicut University. The results were published in August, 2009. The petitioner again failed in the paper on Digital Signal Processing.

The petitioner had in the meanwhile appeared for and passed the 8th semester examination. The petitioner submits that she has passed all the other semester examinations and all the other papers of the 6th semester examination and that unless her answer script in Digital Signal Processing, for which she had appeared in the supplementary 6th semester examination, is revalued, she will be put to serious prejudice. In this writ petition the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue her answer script in Digital Signal Processing for which she had appeared in the W.P.(C) No. 29281/09 2 supplementary 6th semester examination held in December, 2008, and to communicate the results to her expeditiously. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will revalue the petitioner's answer script and communicate the result to her within eight weeks from today, if the application is otherwise in order. I accordingly dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to revalue petitioner's answer script in Digital Signal Processing for which she had appeared in the 6th semester supplementary examination held in December 2008 and to communicate the results of such revaluation to her within eight weeks from today. The petitioner shall, in order to enable the respondents to act as directed above, produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Calicut University.
