RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.19304 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner underwent the B.Tech. degree course in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the College of Engineering, Perumon run by the Cochin University of Science and Technology. She appeared for the subject “High Voltage DC Transmission” of the VII semester in the supplementary examination held in November, 2010. The results were published on 23.5.2011. The petitioner again failed in the said subject. She has therefore applied for revaluation of her answer script by submitting an application on 23.5.2011 itself. It is stated that the petitioner has completed the course of study and has passed all the other semester examinations, that she has qualfied in the entrance examination conducted by the Anna University, Tamilnadu for admission to the M.Tech degree course and that admissions for the said course will commence in August, 2011. The petitioner submits that she had done well in the examination and that if her answer script is revalued, she is sure to secure a pass in the said subject. In such circumstances, unless her answer script is expeditiously revalued, she will be put to serious prejudice, it is submitted. It is further submitted that the petitioner has submitted W.P.(C) No.19304 of 2011 2 Exts.P4 and Ext.P4(a) representations to the Registrar of Cochin University of Science and Technology and the Controller of Examinations on 4.7.2011 informing them that unless her answer script is expeditiously revalued and the result communicated to her, she will not get admission for the M.Tech Degree Course in Anna University, Tamilnadu this year. In this writ petition she seeks a direction to the respondents to expeditiously revalue his answer script and to publish the result. 2. Sri.S.P.Aravindakshan Pillai, learned standing counsel appearing for the Cochin University of Science and Technology submitted that if the petitioner's application for revaluation is in order and the requisite fee has been paid, the University will take steps to expeditiously revalue the answer script and communicate the result to the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from today. 3. It is evident from the materials on record that the petitioner has completed her course of study and has passed all other papers except one paper of the VII semester. Further, the petitioner has in Exts.P4 and P4(a) representations stated that she has secured admission for M.Tech Degree Course, after participating in the common entrance test held by the Anna University, Tamilnadu. It is also stated that the admissions for the said course will commence in W.P.(C) No.19304 of 2011 3 August, 2011. In such circumstances, as the petitioner had applied for revaluation on 23.5.2011 and more than one month and 21 days have passed thereafter, I am of the opinion that the University should expeditiously revalue the petitioner's answer scripts so as to enable her to seek admission for the M.Tech Degree Course in Anna University, Tamilnadu. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the answer script of the petitioner in the subject “High Voltage DC Transmission” of the VII semester revalued and to publish the results expeditiously and in any event on or before 16.8.2011. The petitioner shall produce a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the respondents in order to enable them to act as directed above. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
