THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 9068 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT The first prayer sought for in this writ petition is to permit the petitioner to write the second year B.Sc Nursing Examination. Evidently, it is against the regulations which requires that a student should pass the previous examination to appear in the succeeding examination. The petitioner admittedly has not passed in all the 1st year papers and hence is not entitled to the prayer. Similar claim raised by another batch of students have been rejected by this court in the judgment in WPC No.5990 of 2008 and connected cases. 2. The alternate prayer now made by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that a direction may be issued to the University to expedite the revaluation applied for by the petitioners as per Exts.P1 to P6 applications. It is pointed out by the Standing Counsel appearing for the University that the last date for submitting the application for revaluation is expiring only today and WPC No. 9068 OF 2008 2 therefore the steps for revaluation will be taken only from now. 3. Taking note of this aspect, it is directed that the University shall expedite the revaluation as applied by the petitioners, and complete the same within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondents for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE ttb WPC No. 9068 OF 2008 3
