P (C) No. 11573 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 8th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioners wrote first year MBBS examination in September, 2007. They failed in three subjects. They applied for revaluation. After revaluation, the petitioners were informed that there is no change in their marks. This is on the ground that the difference between the original marks and the revalued marks was less than 5% of the original marks and as per Ext. P9 regulations, the petitioners would be eligible for revalued marks only if the difference is 5% or more. The petitioners challenge the validity of Ext. P9 regulations. The respondents have filed a counter affidavit supporting Ext. P9 and their action. 2. The petitioners could not dispute the fact that the issue is covered against the petitioners by the decision in University of Kerala v. Alex Saji, 1997(2) KLT 100, in which similar regulation in respect of the Kerala University has been upheld. Therefore, following that decision, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S.
