Although he has successfully completed the course, he attended the supplementary examination for one of the papers of 5th Semester. Ext. P1 is the hall ticket for the same. The complaint of the petitioner is that the result of the examination has not been declared so far. While so, petitioner also has got an offer of employment in a private company as per Ext. P2. It is submitted that he has to produce the certificates on 23-10-2007. It is complained that if there is inordinate delay in the matter there is every possibility of loosing his job. Petitioner seeks indulgence of this Court for an expeditious declaration of the result of the 5th semester supplementary examination. 2. I heard the learned Standing Counsel for the University. W.P.(C) No. 30489 OF 2007 2 3. It is seen from Ext. P1 that the examination in question was held in July, 2007. If that be so, the respondents ought to have taken expeditious action for completion of the valuation. In view of the peculiar facts highlighted by the petitioner, I consider it a fit case to call upon the University to complete the valuation and declare the results of the supplementary examination, within the shortest possible time. 4. Accordingly, I direct that the respondents shall complete the valuation and declare the results of the 5th Semester Supplementary Examination undertaken by the petitioner on the strength of Ext. P1 hall ticket at the earliest. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
