He also submits that he is sure to secure a pass if his answer script is revalued. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue his answer script in "Solid State Devices" and to communicate the result to him expeditiously, within a time limit to be fixed by this Court. 3. Sri.M.Saseendran, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Kannur University submits that the University will revalue the petitioner's answer script in “Solid State Devices”, if his application is otherwise in order and communicate the result expeditiously and in any event within eight weeks from today. I accordingly dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to revalue the petitioner's answer script described in Ext.P1 application and to communicate the result to him within six weeks from the date on which he produces a certified copy of the judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Kannur University.
