K.K.Jayasurian, 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 5th semester B.Tech degree examination in Computer Science and Engineering conducted by the University of Calicut in December, 2008. The results were published in October, 2009. The petitioner failed in the paper “Theory of Computation”. She has therefore applied for revaluation of her answer script by submitting Ext.P3 application dated 13.10.2009. Relying on Ext.P4, it is stated that the requisite fee has also been paid. The petitioner submits that she has passed all the other semester examinations, that she had done well in the examination and that if her answer script is revalued, she is sure to secure a pass. She submits that she is presently undergoing studies in the 7th semester of the B.Tech degree course and that if she secures a pass on revaluation, she can take part in the campus recruitment. On these grounds, the petitioner seeks a writ in the W.P.(C) No. 31823/09 2 nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue her answer script and to communicate the result to her expeditiously. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel for the University of Calicut submits that the University will take expeditious steps to revalue the petitioner's answer script and to communicate the result to her, if her application is otherwise in order. 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 script revalued and to communicate the result to her expeditiously and in any event within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
