The results were published on 30.10.2009. The petitioner failed in “General Medicine”, Papers I and II. She has therefore applied for revaluation of her answer scripts by submitting Ext.P2 application dated 2.11.2009. It is submitted that requisite fee has also been paid. The petitioner submits that she had done well in the examination and that she is sure to secure a pass if her answer scripts are revalued. She also submits that in such circumstances, if her answer scripts are not revalued expeditiously, her internship will be delayed causing serious prejudice to her. She submits that she has also been selected for Compulsory Rotating Residential Internship in Christian Medical College, Vellore, subject to registration by the Tamil Nadu Medical Council and that registration can be done till December 2009. On these grounds the petitioner seeks expeditious revaluation of her answer scripts. W.P.(C).32544/09 2 2. Sri.T.A.Shaji, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Mahatma Gandhi University submits that results were published only on 30.10.2009 and that the last date prescribed for submission of applications for revaluation is not yet over. He submits that as large number of applications for revaluation are likely to be received, the University may be granted a reasonable time to revalue the petitioner's answer scripts and to communicate the results. 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 described in Ext.P2 application revalued and to communicate the results to her expeditiously and in any event within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Mahatma Gandhi University.
