No. 29859 OF 2009 ------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T ~~~~~~~~~~~ Heard Sri.P.J.Mathew, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut. 2. The first petitioner appeared for the 5th Semester (supplementary), B.Tech degree examination in Electronics and Communication Engineering and the second petitioner for the 5th Semester (supplementary) B.Tech Degree Examination in Mechanical Engineering conducted by the University of Calicut in December, 2008. The results were published in October, 2009. The first petitioner failed in the paper 'Electromagnetic Field Theory' and the second petitioner in the paper 'Heat and Mass Transfer'. They have therefore, applied for revaluation of their answer scripts by submitting Exts.P2 and P5 applications. It is stated that the requisite fee has also been paid. The petitioners submit that they have completed their course of study and that they are sure to secure a pass, if their answer scripts are revalued. They also submit that they intend to pursue higher W.P(C) No.29859/2009 2 studies and that any delay in revaluing their answer scripts will cause serious prejudice to them. On these grounds, the petitioners seek expeditious revaluation of their answer scripts. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, learned standing counsel for the University of Calicut, submits that if the petitioners' applications are in order and the requisite fee has been paid, the University will take steps to revalue their answer scripts and communicate the results, expeditiously. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to revalue the petitioners' answer scripts described in Exts.P2 and P5 applications and to communicate the results to them, if their applications are in order, within two months from the date on which the petitioners produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
