The results were published in June, 2010. The petitioner failed in paper XV, Computerised Accounting with Tally. He has therefore applied for scrutiny and revaluation of the answer script of the said paper by submitting Ext.P2 application dated 14.6.2010. It is stated that the requisite fee was also paid on the same day. The petitioner submits that he has passed the first and second year B.Com. degree examinations and the remaining papers of the final year examination. In such circumstances, he submits that unless his answer script is expeditiously revalued, he will be put to serious prejudice. 2. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut submits that Ext.P2 application was filed only on 14.6.2010 and that even before the last date for submission of applications for revaluation has expired, the petitioner has rushed to this Court on 17.6.2010 complaining of delay in revaluation. The learned counsel however submits that having regard to the welfare of WP(C).No.18973/2010 2 the student community, the University will take steps to revalue the answer scripts within eight weeks from the last date stipulated for submission of applications for revaluation. In the aforesaid circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Controller of Examinations of the University of Calicut to take steps to have the petitioner's answer script described in Ext.P2 application revalued and to communicate the result to him within eight weeks from the last date stipulated for submission of applications for revaluation in respect of the final year B.Com. degree examination held in April, 2010.
