J U D G M E N T Heard Smt.Lakshmi B.Shenoy, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri.T.A.Shaji, the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents. 2. The petitioner appeared for the 6th semester B.Com Degree examination conducted by the Mahatma Gandhi University in March 2009. The results were published on 26.6.2009. The petitioner failed in the paper Corporate Accounting. She has therefore applied for revaluation and scrutiny of her answer script by submitting Exts.P2 and P3 applications dated 7.7.2009. She has also paid the requisite fee. Scrutiny was conducted on 25.9.2009. The grievance voiced by the petitioner in this writ petition is that till date her answer script in Corporate Accounting has not been revalued. The petitioner submits that she had done well in the examination and that she is sure to secure a pass if her answer script is revalued. She states that she has secured more than 55% marks in other semester examinations, that she wishes to pursue her studies and that unless her answer script is revalued expeditiously she will be put to serious prejudice. 3. Sri.T.A.Shaji, the learned standing appearing for the Mahatma W.P(C) No.29500 of 2009-F 2 Gandhi University submits that University will take expeditious steps to revalue the petitioner's answer script and to communicate the result to her. As per the Examination Manual, the University has to revalue the answer scripts within 81 days from the date of publication of the results. In such circumstances, as more than 81 days have passed after the publication of the result, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to revalue the petitioner's answer script in Corporate Accounting and to communicate the result to her expeditiously and in any event within one month from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Mahatma Gandhi University. The Registry is directed to issue certified copies of this judgment to the learned counsel appearing on either side, on usual terms, if applied for today itself.
