The petitioners appeared for the eighth semester B.Tech. degree examination in Computer Science and Engineering conducted by the Calicut University. The results were published in the first week of August 2009. The first petitioner failed in four papers namely Information Retrieval, Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing, Internet Technologies and Artificial Intelligence. The second petitioner failed in three papers namely Information Retrieval, Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing and Mobile Communications Systems. The petitioners have therefore submitted Exts.P1 and P2 applications seeking revaluation of their respective answer scripts and have also paid the requisite fee. The petitioners state that they have passed all the other semester examinations and they have been recruited by Infosys Technologies Limited. It is stated that by Exts.P3 and P4 letters they have been directed to report for training on 10.10.2009. The petitioners submit that unless their answer scripts are revalued and the W.P(C) No. 25344 of 2009-K 2 results communicated to the petitioners before 10.10.2009, they will loose their employment. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to re-value their answer scripts referred in Exts.P1 and P2 within a time limit to be fixed by this Court. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will revalue the petitioners' answer scripts referred in Exts.P1 and P2 applications if their application are otherwise in order and communicate the result of revaluation to them within eight weeks from today.
