BY SRI.T.A.SHAJI, SC FOR M.G.UNIVERSITY. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/02/2011, THE COURT ON 08/01/2011 DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N. RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.3249 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are students undergoing the B.Tech Degree course in Mar Baselius Christian College of Engineering and Technology, Idukki. They appeared for the combined I and II semester examination conducted by the Mahatma Gandhi University in April,2010. The results were published on 29.9.2010. The petitioners and others failed in the paper “Engineering Graphics”. It is stated that the petitioners have thereupon applied for revaluation of their answer scripts. This writ petition is filed seeking expeditious revaluation of their answer scripts on the ground that unless the revaluation is expeditiously held, they will be put to serious prejudice. 2. When the writ petition came up for hearing on 1.2.2011, the learned standing counsel was directed to get instructions as to whether petitioners have applied for revaluation of their answer scripts in the subject “Engineering Graphics”. 3. Today, when the writ petition came up for further hearing, Sri.T.A.Shaji, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Mahatma Gandhi University submitted that petitioners 1 to 7 have applied for revaluation in time, but the 8th petitioner has not W.P.(C) No.3249 of 2011 2 submitted an application for revaluation. He also submitted that the University will take steps to revalue the answer scripts of petitioners 1 to 7 and communicate the results to them expeditiously. In the light of the said submission and having regard to the fact that more than 4 months have passed after the result of the combined I and II semester B.Tech Degree Examination was published, I am of the opinion that the University should take expeditious steps to revalue the answer scripts of petitioners 1 to 7. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take expeditious steps to have the answer scripts of petitioners 1 to 7 in the subject “Engineering Graphics” of the combined I and II semester B.Tech Degree Examination held in April, 2010 revalued and to communicate the results to them expeditiously and in any event within 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
