Kp/ P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 24645 OF 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of September, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner underwent the B.Tech degree course in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Nehru College of Engineering, Thiruvalla a college affiliated to the University of Calicut. He appeared for the 8th semester B.Tech degree examination in June, 2011. The results were published in the first week of August, 2011. The petitioner failed in the paper Instrumentation Systems. He has therefore submitted Ext.P1 application seeking revaluation of his answer script in the said paper. The requisite fee was also paid. This writ petition is filed seeking expeditious revaluation of the answer script mainly on the ground that unless the revaluation is expeditiously conducted, the petitioner will be put to serious prejudice. 2. When this writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri. Santhosh Mathew, learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut submitted that if the application submitted by the petitioner for revaluation is in order and the requisite fee has been paid, the University will take steps to expeditiously WPC No.24645/2011 2 revalue the petitioner's answer script and to communicate the result to him. He also brought to my notice that in Ext.P1 application, the petitioner has stated that he appeared for the paper Instrumentation Systems in the seventh semester examination but he appeared for the said paper in the eighth semester examination and therefore the application requires to be suitably corrected. In such circumstances, the petitioner is directed to take steps to correct the original of Ext.P1 application by making a request in that regard to the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the petitioner's answer script described in Ext.P1 application revalued and to communicate the results to him expeditiously and in any event within ten weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
