Kp/ P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 24649 OF 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of September, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner underwent the B.Tech degree course in Information Technology from Jyothi Engineering College, a college affiliated to the University of Calicut. He appeared for the 8th semester B.Tech degree examination in June, 2011. The results were published in the first week of August, 2011. The petitioner failed in the papers Management Information System, Internet Technologies, Simulation and Modelling and Entrepreneurship. He has therefore submitted Ext.P1 application seeking revaluation of his answer scripts in the said papers. The requisite fee was also paid. This writ petition is filed seeking expeditious revaluation of the answer scripts mainly on the ground that unless the revaluation is expeditiously conducted, the petitioner will be put to serious prejudice. 2. When this writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri. Santhosh Mathew, learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut submitted that if the application submitted by the petitioner for revaluation is in order and the requisite fee WPC No.24649/2011 2 has been paid, the University will take steps to expeditiously revalue the petitioner's answer scripts and to communicate the results to him. In such circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the petitioner's answer scripts described in Ext.P1 application revalued and to communicate the results to him expeditiously and in any event within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
