JUDGMENT The petitioner was studying for M.B.A. in the academic year 2006- 2008 in M.G. University Off Campus, Adoor, Pathanamthitta which is affiliated to the first respondent University. The petitioner appeared for the third semester examination of the said course conducted in May 2009. When the results were published in December 2009, he found that though he passed in all other subjects, he had failed to achieve the minimum pass mark of 50 out of 100 for the theory paper of 'Security Analysis and Portfolio Management'. Ext.P2 is the true copy of the mark list. The petitioner applied for revaluation of the above paper on 7.1.2010 after remitting the required fee which is evidenced by Ext.P3. It is submitted that now the supplementary examination for the third semester is scheduled to commence on 21.4.2010 and if the revaluation of the third semester examination written by the petitioner is not conducted within a reasonable period, the petitioner will be put in great hardship. The petitioner therefore submitted a representation before the second respondent on 12.3.2010 praying to expedite the revaluation process. Ext.P4 is the copy of the said wpc 9320/2010 2 representation. Aggrieved by the delay in considering the matter, the petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking for appropriate direction to the respondents to consider the application for revaluation and publish the results within a time frame. 2. Heard learned Standing Counsel for the University. 3. There will be a direction to the second respondent to complete the process of revaluation of the answer scripts of the petitioner and communicate the results thereof to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, if the application and fee remitted are otherwise in order. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
