TO JUDGE. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 32415 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of February, 2007 JUDGMENT This Writ Petition is filed alleging that answer books of petitioners in the paper Physical Chemistry in the 3rd Semester M.Sc. examinations are missing and therefore petitioners could not exercise their right of scrutiny and get the answer papers revalued. This Court issued two interim orders, one on 19.11.2004 and the other on 13.1.2005 directing the respondents to permit the petitioners to scrutinize the answer papers and also for revaluation of answer papers. So far petitioners have not approached this Court with a complaint that interim orders were not complied with. In fact in the counter affidavit filed by the second respondent, second respondent has denied the allegation of missing of answer papers. It is also stated that petitioners have scrutinized the answer papers. It is not known whether petitioners have requested for revaluation and if so whether it is carried out. In any case since W.P. is pending for long, even if the petitioners seek revaluation within six weeks from now, second respondent should get the answer papers revalued. W.P. is closed as above.
