R1 &R2 BY ADV. SRI.S.P.ARAVINDAKSHAN PILLAI,SC,CUSAT THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/11/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 34261 of 2010 G ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 19th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner completed B.Tech from the first respondent. She has appeared for the supplementary examination of some of the subjects of 1st, 7th and 8th semesters. She has also applied for revaluation of two papers of the 3rd semester. In this writ petition, petitioner complains of delay on the part of the University in completing the valuation and revaluation and declaration of results. According to the petitioner, on being selected for employment in Indian Army, she has already commenced training and that, unless she produces the certificates before the end of December, 2010, she will loose the employment opportunity. 2. I heard Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent. He submits that as far as the 1st and the 7th semester supplementary examinations are concerned, the University has already taken steps to publish the results W.P.(C) No.34261/10 : 2 : before 15-12-2010 and this submission is recorded. It is stated that as far as the 8th semester valuation is concerned, valuation will start only on 22-11-2010 and similar is the submission made in so far as the revaluation applied for by the petitioner for the 3rd semester answer papers is concerned. 3. In my view, the University should also be conscious of the prejudice that will be caused to the students if timely valuation and declaration of results is not done. This case is a classic example, where delay can seriously affect the petitioner, who on being selected by Indian Army, has already started her training and will lose the job itself, if the certificates are not produced before the end of December. In such circumstances, University should rise to the occasion and take necessary action for the expeditious declaration of results. 4. Therefore, I direct that the University shall declare the results of the 1st, 7th and 8th semester examinations after W.P.(C) No.34261/10 : 3 : completing the valuation at any rate before 31-12-2010. It is also directed that the revaluation sought by the petitioner shall also be expedited and completed before that date. It is made clear that in case for some reasons the University is not in a position to declare the results before that date, the petitioner will be at liberty to apply for communicating her marks confidentially. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
