THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: H.L.DATTU, C.J. & A.K.BASHEER, J. ------------------------------------------------------------------ W.A.No.1206 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------------- Dated, this the 11th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT A.K.Basheer, J. The appellant who is a student of M.Sc Mathematics in the Bharathamatha college affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University had approached the learned Single Judge with a primary prayer to issue a writ of mandamus or such other writ, order or direction to the respondents to send Exts.P3 answer script in Complex Analysis-II in the 3rd Semester Examination along with the answer keys for re-valuation by an expert like the Head of the Department of Mathematics of the Kerala University or Calicut University or such other person acceptable to the first respondent and revise the result. 2. The learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition holding that the prayer made by the petitioner was wholly untenable not only because the relevant Regulation did not permit such a course of action but also for the reason that the University had already allowed re-valuation of the answer script. 3. It is contended by the learned counsel for the appellant that the order passed by the learned Single Judge is unsustainable. We are unable to agree with the above contention. As rightly noticed by the learned Single Judge, no Statute or Regulation provides for re-valuation of answer scripts of a student of a college by an outside agency. That being the admitted position, we do not find any material illegality or irregularity in the WA.No.1206/2008 -2- order passed by the learned Single Judge. The writ appeal fails and it is accordingly dismissed. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE MS
