The petitioners appeared for supplementary sixth semester B.Tech. degree examination in Mechanical Engineering conducted by the University of Calicut in December, 2008. The results were published towards the end of August, 2009. In the meanwhile, the petitioners completed their course of study and also appeared and passed the eighth semester examination. The petitioners have therefore applied for revaluation of their answer scripts in which they have failed in the supplementary sixth semester examination held in December,2008 by submitting Exts.P1 to P3 applications. It is stated that the requisite fee has also been paid and that the applications were filed within time. The petitioners submit that they have completed their course of study and are sure to W.P.(C) No.29468/2009 2 secure a pass if their answer scripts are revalued. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue their answer scripts described in Exts.P1 to P3 applications and to declare the results within a time limit to be fixed by this Court. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut submits that the University will revalue the petitioners’ answer scripts in the concerned subjects if their applications are in order and they have paid the prescribed fee and communicate the results to them within eight weeks from today. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to have the petitioners’ answer scripts described in Exts.P1 to P3 applications revalued and to communicate the results to them within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioners produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
