MR.P.C.SASIDHARAN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss P.N.RAVINDRAN,J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.32984 of 2009 - P ---------------------------------------- Dated 18th November, 2009 Judgment The petitioners appeared for the First Professional MBBS Degree Examination conducted by the University of Calicut in August, 2009. The results were published on 3.11.2009. The petitioners failed in 'Physiology - Papers I and II'. They have therefore applied for revaluation of their answer scripts by submitting Exts.P1 and P2 applications respectively. It is submitted that the requisite fee has also been paid. The petitioners submit that they have done well in the examination and that they are hopeful of securing a pass if their answer scripts are revalued. They also submit that without passing the First Professional MBBS Degree Examination, they cannot attend the second year classes and that therefore unless their answer scripts are expeditiously revalued, they will be put to serious prejudice. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek expeditious revaluation of their answer scripts. W.P.(C) No.32984/2009 2 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut submits that the pass percentage for the First Professional MBBS Degree Examination is below 61% in all the Medical Colleges affiliated to the University of Calicut taken together, that a large number of candidates are likely to seek revaluation, that the last date stipulated for submission of applications for revaluation is 18.11.2009 and that within eight weeks thereafter, the University will revalue the petitioners' answer scripts and communicate the result to them. 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 petitioners' answer scripts described in Exts.P1 and P2 applications revalued and to communicate the result to them expeditiously and in any event, within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioners produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
