J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.T.Madhu, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University. 2. The petitioners appeared for the fourth semester supplementary B.Tech. degree examination in Information Technology conducted by the University of Calicut in December 2008. The results were published in August 2009. In the meanwhile they appeared for the eighth semester examination and completed their course. The results of the eighth semester examination and the fourth semester supplementary examination were published on various dates of August 2009. The first petitioner failed in one paper namely Micro Processor Based Design and the second petitioner failed in two papers namely “Engineering Mathematics-IV” and “Micro Processor Based Design” of the fourth semester supplementary examination. The petitioners have therefore applied for revaluation of their answer scripts by submitting Exts.P1 and P2 applications. They have also paid the requisite fee. The petitioners submit that they are sure to secure a pass if their answer scripts are revalued and that unless their answer scripts are expeditiously revalued, they will be put to serious prejudice. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to re-value their answer scripts within a time limit to be fixed by this Court. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will revalue the petitioners’ answer scripts, if their applications are otherwise in order, expeditiously, and communicate the result of revaluation to them within eight weeks from today. I accordingly dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to re-value the petitioners’ answer scripts described in Exts.P1 and P2 and to communicate the result to them within eight weeks from today. The petitioners shall in order to enable the respondents to act as directed above, produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Calicut University.
