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 6th semester supplementary B.Tech. degree examination in different branches of Engineering held by the University of Calicut in December 2008. The results were published in August 2009. The first petitioner failed in the paper “Radiation and Propagation” and the second petitioner failed in the paper “Principles of Management and Engineering Economics”. They have therefore applied for revaluation of their answer scripts by submitting Exts.P1 and P2 applications dated 31.8.2009. In the meanwhile the 7th and 8th semester examinations were held. The petitioners appeared for and passed the said examinations. The petitioners submit that they have completed their course of study and that if their answer scripts of the 6th semester examination are revalued, they are sure to secure a pass. 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. They submit that they had availed educational loans for the purpose of their studies and that if they secure a pass on revaluation and get employment, they can repay the same expeditiously. 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.
