J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.U.Balagangadharan, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University. In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to or hear the third respondent. 2. The petitioner appeared for the eighth semester B.Tech. degree examination in Electrical and Electronic Engineering conducted by the University of Calicut in May 2009 with register No.AMAFEE039. The results were published in August 2009. The petitioner failed in the paper on Bio Medical Instrumentation (EEE810). He has passed the other semester examinations and the other papers of the 8th semester examination. He has therefore applied for revaluation of his answer script in Bio Medical Instrumentation (EEE810) on 20.8.2009 in the prescribed form and has also paid the requisite fee. The petitioner states that since he did not retain a copy of the application and the receipt evidencing payment of fee, he is not a in a position to produce the same. He submits that if his answer script in Bio Medical Instrumentation (EEE810) is revalued he is sure to secure a pass and that unless his answer script is expeditiously revalued he will not be in a position to W.P(C) No.26315 of 2009-H 2 pursue his studies in the current academic year. He submits that seeking expeditious revaluation of his answer script in Bio Medical Instrumentation (EEE810) he had submitted Ext.P2 representation dated 20.8.2009 to the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the second respondent to re-value his answer script in Bio Medical Instrumentation (EEE810) for which he appeared in the 8th semester B.Tech degree examination and to publish the result expeditiously and in any event within three weeks. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the petitioner has not furnished the details regarding the application for revaluation and payment of fee in this writ petition and that as a large number of applications are received, the University can only submit that if the petitioner has applied for revaluation, the University will take steps to revalue his answer scripts and communicate the results within eight weeks. Since the petitioner has not, as rightly pointed out by the learned standing counsel for the University furnished the details regarding the application for revaluation, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to revalue the petitioner's answer script in Bio Medical Instrumentation (EEE810) for which he appeared in the 8th semester examination in W.P(C) No.26315 of 2009-H 3 Electrical and Electronic Engineering held by the University of Calicut with register No.AMAFEE039, if his application has been received and is in order and to publish the result within eight weeks from today.
