C.V.Manuvilsan, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri. P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University. 2. The petitioner was a student of Government Law College, Calicut, for the five year LLB degree course during the period 2003-2008. He appeared for the supplementary 4th semester LLB degree examination held in February, 2009, the 6th semester LLB degree examination held in February 2009 and 9th semester LLB degree examination held in May 2009. The results were published on various dates in August, 2009 and September 2009. He failed in one paper each of the three semester examinations. The petitioner has therefore applied for revaluation of his answer scripts by submitting Exts.P1 to P3 applications. It is stated that the requisite fee has also been paid. The petitioner also submits that he had done well in the examinations and that if his answer scripts are revalued, he is sure to secure a pass. The petitioner states that as he had already completed his course, if he secures a pass on revaluation, he can enrol as an Advocate and start practice. On these grounds, the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the W.P.(C) No. 30245/09 2 respondents to revalue his answer scripts and to communicate the results to him expeditiously. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will take steps to revalue the petitioner's answer scripts and to communicate the result to him within two months from today, if his 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 take steps to have the petitioner's answer scripts revalued and to communicate the result to him within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
