It is the case of the petitioner and confirmed by the Principal of the College where she studied that although the petitioner was awarded 18 marks for internal assessment, while transmitting the same to the University, a mistake has been committed and that it was recorded as 8, and that the said mistake resulted in the entry in Ext.P1, which is objected to in this writ petition. Pursuant to the order dated 14/8/07 passed by this court, an inspection was conducted by the authorities of the University and the report submitted has been made available to me by the standing counsel for the University. In the report also, it is confirmed by the inspection team that though petitioner was awarded 18 marks, it was only on account of a mistake, on transmission of the same, 8 happened to be entered WPC 26991/06 : 2 : in the marklist. Thus, it is evident that it was only on account of a mistake committed by the College that the wrong entry happened to be entered in the marklist. If that be so, the mistake so committed by the authorities needs to be corrected. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that respondents 1 and 2 shall correct the mistake by assigning 18 marks to the petitioner for the paper Business Law in the Final year BBM Examination as against 8 that is already awarded. Necessary correction shall be carried out and the marklist shall also be issued to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible. Consequently, Ext.P4 will also stand quashed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
