J U D G M E N T
Heard Sri. V.Madhusudhanan, the learned counsel appearing for
the petitioner and Sri. P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel
appearing for the Calicut University.
2. The petitioner appeared for the supplementary 6th semester
B.Tech degree examination in Electronics and Communication
Engineering conducted by the Calicut University in April, 2009 . The
results were published on 23.8.2009. The petitioner failed in the paper
Digital Signal Processing. He has therefore applied for revaluation of his
answer script by submitting an application dated 8.9.2009. It is stated that
the requisite fee has also been paid. Even though a copy of the
application is not produced, the details regarding the same are given in
para 3 of the writ petition. The petitioner submits that he has passed all
the other semester examinations and that he has been offered
employment. He submits that if his answer script in Digital Signal
Processing is revalued, he is sure to secure a pass. On these grounds,
the petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the
respondents to revalue his answer script and to communicate the result to
him expeditiously.

3. When this writ petition came up for admission on 19.10.2009,
Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel for the University was
requested to ascertain whether the petitioner has applied for revaluation of
his answer script. Today, when this writ petition came up for hearing, the
learned standing counsel for the University submitted that an application for
revaluation has been submitted by the petitioner on 8.9.2009. He also
submitted that the University will take expeditious steps to revalue the
petitioner’s answer script and to communicate the result to him, if his
application is otherwise in order .
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
script revalued and to communicate the result to him within six weeks from
the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment
before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
