Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the result of the petitioner was withheld as the marks of the said subsidiary paper was not available. However, subsequently, result of the petitioner was declared and the petitioner was declared pass but without adding the marks of the aforesaid subsidiary paper. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already filed representation before the Examination Controller as would be evident from Annexure-1 series. He submits that the respondents may be directed to consider the representation of the petitioner and if the answersheet of the said subsidiary paper is 2 available with the University, the same may be evaluated and marks achieved by the petitioner may be added in his result. However, if the answersheet is not available, the Univesity authority may also check up the tabulation register of the University to find out as to whether petitioner had obtained marks in the said subsidiary paper and if the tabulation register shows that marks had been allotted to the petitioner in the said subsidiary paper, the same may be added in his result. In view of the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the Examination Controller of the University to consider the representation of the petitioner and dispose of the same in accordance with law in the light of the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner, as noticed above. It goes without saying that if the University authorities are satisfied that in fact petitioner was allotted some marks in the said subsidiary paper, the same shall be added in the result of the petitioner and the result of the petitioner shall be accordingly revised. It is expected that the Examination Controller shall consider the representation of the petitioner 3 and take final decision in the matter within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ application stands disposed of. Pradeep/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
