THE PRINCIPAL, ROYAL DENTAL COLLEGE, CHALISSERI, PALAKKAD DISTRICT. SRI.P.C.SASIDHARAN, SC, CALICUT UNIVERSITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 4296 OF 2009 (J) ==================== Dated this the 12th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a BDS student. In the first year examination, she failed in two subjects. It is stated that in view of the marginal shortage of marks, she has been provisionally permitted to attend the second year classes. In the meanwhile, petitioner submitted Ext.P2 application to the University praying for revaluation of the failed papers. 2. In this writ petition, what the petitioner seeks is a direction to the University to expedite the revaluation so that she can continue her studies in the second year classes. 3. Taking into account the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the provisional arrangement on the basis of which she is attending the second year classes is only upto 1st of March, 2009 and that unless the revalued results are announced before that date, she will have to discontinue her studies. Standing counsel was directed to obtain instructions in the matter. Today, it is submitted that the last date for receiving applications for revaluation is expiring only on 13th of February, 2009 and that the process of revaluation could be done only WPC 4296/09 :2 : thereafter. In view of this, it is pointed out that it is practically difficult to complete the revaluation process before the end of this month. 4. Having heard the counsel on either side, I am inclined to agree with the counsel for the University that it may not be possible to complete the process of revaluation before the end of February, 2009. 5. Be that as it may, it is directed that since Ext.P2 has been received and is pending, the University shall complete the revaluation applied for by the petitioner and declare the results, provided the application is otherwise in order, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks from today. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
