The results of the said examination was published on 28.8.2009. The petitioner again failed in the said paper. She has therefore applied for revaluation and scrutiny of her answer script in Graph Theory and Combinatorics for which she had appeared in the supplementary examination by submitting the W.P.(C) No. 26081/09 2 original of Ext.P6 application. She has also applied for scrutiny of the said answer script. The petitioner states that she has been offered employment as Software Engineer in Infosis Technologies Limited and that if her answer scripts in Graph Theory and Combinatorics for which she had appeared in November 2008, and in the supplementary examination held in May 2009 are revalued, she is sure to secure a pass in the said subject. She submits that unless her answer scripts are revalued and the result communicated to her expeditiously, she will loose the employment offered to her. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will revalue the petitioner's answer scripts and communicate the results to her within eight weeks from today, if her applications are otherwise in order. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to revalue the petitioner's answer scripts in Graph Theory and Combinatorics for which she had appeared in the 6th semester B.Tech degree examination in the first instance in November 2008 and in the supplementary examination W.P.(C) No. 26081/09 3 held in May, 2009 and to communicate the results of such revaluation to her within eight weeks from today. The respondents shall also take steps to arrange for scrutiny of the petitioner's answer scripts expeditiously and in any event within 10 days from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Calicut University, if she has applied for scrutiny and has paid the prescribed fee.
