Madhu. T, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Sri. P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University. 2. The petitioners appeared for the supplementary 4th semester B.Tech degree examination in Computer Science Engineering conducted by the Calicut University in December, 2008 . The results were published in August, 2009. The petitioners failed in various papers. They have therefore applied for revaluation of their answer scripts by submitting Exts.P1 and P2 applications. The petitioners submit that they had done well in the examination and are sure to secure a pass, if their answer scripts are revalued. The petitioners submit that unless this Court interferes and directs expeditious revaluation, revaluation of their answer scripts is likely to be delayed. In this writ petition the petitioners seek a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue their answer scripts and to communicate the result to them expeditiously. W.P.(C) No. 30274/09 2 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will take steps to revalue the petitioners' answer scripts and to communicate the results to them within two months from today, if their 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 petitioners' answer scripts revalued and to communicate the results to them within two months from the date on which the petitioners produce a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
