J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.Renjith Xavier, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University. 2. The petitioner appeared for the eighth semester B.Tech. degree examination in Electrical and Electronics Engineering held by the University of Calicut in June 2009. The results were published in August 2009. The petitioner failed in two papers namely “Industrial Drives” and “Instrumentation Systems”. He has therefore applied for revaluation of his answer scripts by submitting Ext.P2 application. The petitioner states that he has also paid the requisite fee. The petitioner submits that he has been offered employment and that if his answer scripts are revalued, he is sure to secure a pass. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to re-value his answer scripts in “Industrial Drives” and “Instrumentation Systems” and to communicate the result expeditiously. 3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will revalue the petitioner's answer scripts in “Industrial Drives” and “Instrumentation Systems”, if his application is otherwise in order, expeditiously, and in any event within eight weeks. He also submits that the result of revaluation will be communicated to the petitioner expeditiously thereafter. In the light of the stand taken by the Calicut University, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to revalue the petitioner's answer scripts in “Industrial Drives” and “Instrumentation Systems” and to communicate the result to him 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.
