The petitioner appeared for the 8th semester B.Tech degree examination in Electronics and Communication Engineering conducted by the Calicut University in June, 2009. The results were published in August, 2009. The petitioner failed in the paper Micro Electronics Technology. He has therefore applied for revaluation of his answer script by submitting Ext.P1 application. The petitioner submits that he had done well in the examination and is sure to secure a pass, if his answer script is revalued. The petitioner submits that as he has completed his course of study, unless his answer script is revalued expeditiously, he will be put to serious prejudice. In this writ petition the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue his answer script and to communicate the result to him expeditiously. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel W.P.(C) No. 30282/09 2 appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will take steps to revalue the petitioner's answer script and to communicate the result to him within two months from today, if his application is otherwise in order. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the petitioner's answer script revalued and to communicate the result to him within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
