THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 3342 OF 2008 W = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 29th January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are B.Com. students. They have submitted Exts. P1 to P17 applications seeking revaluation of certain papers of their second year degree examination held during April-May, 2007. Complaint of the petitioners is that if revaluation is inordinately delayed they will not be in a position to pay fee and appear in the supplementary examination which is now scheduled to commence during April/May, 2008. It is on this basis the writ petition has been filed praying for directing the University to complete the revaluation applied for by them expeditiously. 2. I have heard the counsel for the University who points out that since the applications have been received only in January, 2008 the petitioners have no cause to complain of any delay on the part of the University. 3. It may be true that the petitioners have applied for W.P.(C) No. 3342 OF 2008 -2- revaluation in January, 2008. However, the University has no case that such applications were filed out of time. Irrespective of whether the applications have been made in January or not, the fact remains that the revaluation applied for by the petitioners should be completed on an expeditious basis. This is all the more so for the reason that depending upon the revaluation sought for by them they have to make arrangements for appearing for the supplementary examination which is scheduled to be held by the University as stated above. 4. Taking into account the urgency pointed out by the petitioners, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the University shall take up and expedite the revaluation applied for by the petitioners as per Exts. P1 to P17. The revaluation shall be completed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, provided the applications made by the petitioners are otherwise in order.
