IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE S.SIRI JAGAN WEDNESDAY, THE 9TH JULY 2008 / 18TH ASHADHA 1930 WP(C).No. 20569 of 2008(W) -------------------------- PETITIONER: ------------ RENCY ITTY, C/O.HABBY ISSAC, CHENOTHUMALIL HOUSE, KOTTAPADY P.O., ERNAKULAM. BY ADV. SRI.K.C.JOSEPH RESPONDENTS: ------------- 1. THE REGISTRAR, MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY, KOTTAYAM. 2. THE CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATIONS, MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY, KOTTAYAM. 3. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY, KOTTAYAM. BY SRI.T.A.SHAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.20569 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 9th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner appeared for the final year examination of M.Sc. (Biotechnology) the results of which were published on 30.11.2007. Dissatisfied with the results in paper XIII, 'Gene, Cell and Tissue Manipulation' the petitioner is stated to have filed an application for scrutiny and revaluation dated 5.12.2008. According to the petitioner, she has also filed Ext.P5 representation dated 12.5.2008, in spite of which, results are yet to be published. The petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the respondents to complete the scrutiny and revaluation process and publish the results thereof expeditiously. 2. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the University would submit that the University would require at least two more months' time to complete the revaluation process. 3. Having heard both parties, I do not think that the request of the University is justified. The results were published as early as on 30.11.2007 and the petitioner is stated to have w.p.c.20569/08 2 filed application for revaluation and scrutiny on 5.12.2007. Even after 7 months, neither scrutiny nor revaluation is completed. The petitioner would also submit that in the above circumstances, the petitioner was forced to appear for the supplementary examination also on 14.5.2008. As such, I am of opinion that the University should complete the revaluation process within one month and scrutiny within one week. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: The scrutiny of the answer script shall be completed within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. Revaluation shall be completed and results published thereof latest within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. This is subject to the condition that the application stated to have been filed by the petitioner is in order in all respects and is pending.
