As it was to her surprise and she was sure of getting very good marks, she approached the first respondent-University and requested it to order recounting of marks, as provided for in the regulations. The petitioner was directed to appear before the first respondent at the time of recounting and accordingly, she appeared before the Committee constituted for the purpose of recounting. During the course of recounting, the petitioner noticed that some of the questions answered by her were not evaluated properly. As the same is restricted to recounting, the recounting was done and it tallied with the marks that were given at the time of valuation. Since the petitioner noticed the said irregularity i.e. granting less marks to some of the answers etc., though the answers are correct, according to the petitioner, she approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not re-valuating the answer scripts of the petitioner as illegal and arbitrary.
