Kp/ P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 24583 OF 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of September, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioners underwent the B.Tech degree course in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Government Engineering College, Sreekrishnapuram, Palakkad, a college affiliated to the University of Calicut. They appeared for the 8th semester B.Tech degree examination in June, 2011. The results were published in the first week of August, 2011. The petitioners failed in various papers. They have therefore submitted Exts.P1 to P6 applications seeking revaluation of their answer scripts in the said papers. The requisite fee was also paid. This writ petition is filed seeking expeditious revaluation of their answer scripts mainly on the ground that unless the revaluation is expeditiously conducted, the petitioners will be put to serious prejudice. 2. When this writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri. Santhosh Mathew, learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut submitted that if the applications submitted by the petitioners for revaluation are in order and the requisite WPC No.24583/2011 2 fee has been paid, the University will take steps to expeditiously revalue the petitioners' answer scripts and to communicate the results to them. In such circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the petitioners' answer scripts described in Exts.P1 to P6 applications revalued and to communicate the results to them expeditiously and in any event within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioners produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
