RAVINDRAN, J. ```````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 26664 of 2009 C ````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2009 J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.Ranjith Xavier, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the University of Calicut. 2. The petitioner appeared for the eighth semester B.Tech degree examination in Electrical and Electronics Engineering conducted by the University of Calicut in June 2009. The results were published in August 2009. The petitioner failed in the paper “Instrumentation Systems”. He has, therefore, applied for revaluation of his answer script in the said paper on 13.08.2009 and also paid the requisite fee as can be seen from Ext.P2. The petitioner submits that he has passed all the other semester examinations and that if his answer script in the paper “Instrumentation Systems” is revalued, he is sure to secure a pass. He submits that unless the revaluation is expeditiously conducted, he will not be in a position to go for higher studies or to seek employment. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to revalue his WPC.26664/09 : 2 : answer script in “Instrumentation Systems” for which he appeared in the eighth semester examination held in June 2009 within a time limit to be fixed by this Court. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Calicut University submits that the University will revalue the petitioner's answer script in “Instrumentation Systems” and communicate the result to him, if his application is otherwise in order, expeditiously, and in any event within eight weeks from today. In the light of the submission made by the learned standing counsel, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to revalue the petitioner's answer script described in Ext.P2 application and to communicate the results to him, within eight weeks from today, if his application is otherwise in order.
