BY GP SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J ------------------- W.P.(C).33974/2009 -------------------- Dated this the 26th day of November, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner appeared for the final year MBBS examination conducted by the Mahatma Gandhi University in August 2009. The petitioner failed in two papers. He has therefore applied for revaluation of his answer scripts in the said two papers by submitting Ext.P2 application dated 3.11.2009. Relying on Ext.P1 certificate of remittance, it is stated that the requisite fee has also been paid. Though a copy of the application for scrutiny or receipt evidencing payment of fee for scrutiny are not produced, relying on the statement in Ext.P2, the petitioner states that he has also applied for scrutiny. The petitioner seeks expeditious revaluation of his answer scripts on the ground that he has passed all the other examinations, that if his answer scripts are revalued, he is sure to secure a pass and that any delay in revaluation will result in delay in undergoing internship. 2. Sri.T.A.Shaji the learned standing counsel appearing for the Mahatma Gandhi University submits that if the petitioner's application for revaluation is within time and W.P.(C).33974/2009 2 in order, the University will take expeditious steps to revalue his answer scripts and to communicate the result to him. As regards scrutiny, the learned standing counsel submits that if the petitioner has applied for scrutiny, arrangements for scrutiny will be made within ten days from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. 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 result to him expeditiously and in any event within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, Mahatma Gandhi University. The Controller of Examinations shall also make arrangements for scrutiny of the petitioner's answer script within ten days from the date of production of a copy of this judgment, if the petitioner has applied for scrutiny in time and has paid the requisite fee.
