THE KERALA LOK AYUKTA REPRESENTED BY ITS REGISTRAR OFFICE OF THE KERLA LOK AYUKTA,ASSEMBLY COMPLEX, PALAYAM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.26746 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 3rd day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P3 order of the Kerala Lok Ayukta, whereby the Lok Ayukta directed the petitioner University to publish the revaluation results of the 1st respondent's answer paper within three weeks from the date of receipt of Ext.P3 order. The petitioner challenges the said order primarily on the ground of want of jurisdiction. According to the petitioner University, there is no mal-administration involved giving jurisdiction to the Lok Ayukta to interfere in the matter. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the petitioner University. 3. I am not inclined to go into the question of jurisdiction in so far as in any event, the University is liable to complete revaluation process as per Ext.P1, which says that the revaluation shall be completed within a period of 45 days from the last date of receipt of application for revaluation. The learned Standing Counsel submits that the centralised revaluation w.p.c.26746/08 2 process is in progress. Accordingly, I close this writ petition with a direction that, instead of three weeks mentioned in Ext.P3, revaluation shall be completed within six weeks from the date of receipt of Ext.P3 order. I leave open the question of jurisdiction to be agitated in appropriate cases. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
