P.B.Sahasranaman., the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri. P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut. 2. The petitioner appeared for the First Professional MBBS Examination conducted by the University of Calicut in August, 2009. The petitioner failed in “Anatomy” and “Physiology”, Papers I and II. She has therefore applied for revaluation of her answer scripts by submitting Ext.P1 application dated 9.11.2009. The petitioner submits that she had done well in the examination and that she is hopeful of securing a pass if her answer scripts are revalued. She also submits that without passing the first year examination, she cannot attend classes for the second year MBBS course which will commence on 11.11.2009 thereby visiting her with serious consequences. On these grounds, she seeks expeditious revaluation of her answer scripts. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel for the University of Calicut submits that the pass percentage for the First Professional MBBS Examination is below 61% in all the Medical Colleges affiliated to the University of Calicut taken together, that a large number of candidates are likely to seek revaluation, that the last date for submission W.P.(C) No. 32604/09 2 of applications for revaluation is 18.11.2009 and that within eight weeks thereafter, the University will revalue the petitioner's answer scripts and communicate the result to her. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the petitioner's answer scripts described in Ext.P1 application revalued and to communicate the result to her within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
