She failed in the said examination. The petitioner submits that private study candidates do not generally secure a pass in the examination conducted by the Mahatma Gandhi University. She alleges discriminatory treatment by the Mahatma Gandhi University to private study candidates. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the Mahatma Gandhi University to revalue her answer scripts through teachers belonging to any other university. She also seeks a direction to the respondents to appoint a high level committee to enquire into the grievance voiced by her in this writ petition. 2. The petitioner has not been able to demonstrate that as per the regulations framed by the university, she is entitled to have her answer scripts revalued by teachers of other universities. Therefore, the petitioner cannot seek a writ W.P. (C) No. 25062 OF 2009 : 2 : in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to have her answer scripts revalued by teachers of another university. As regards the petitioner’s allegations that private study candidates do not generally secure a pass in the examinations conducted by the Mahatma Gandhi University apart from the vague averments in the writ petition, the petitioner has not produced any cogent material to prima face establish that there is some substance in the said allegation. I am therefore of the opinion that no grounds have been made out warranting interference by this Court. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. ( P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE) jma
