As regards Political Science Paper I, counsel for the University concedes that in that question paper also Section B consists of 15 questions and each question carries two marks. In view of the concession of the University’s counsel that in each of the questions of Section B, marks have not been awarded separately the answer books of these two papers requires revaluation. Counsel for the petitioner states that revaluation may be directed to be done of all the questions answered in these papers because the examiner has not applied mind. There is merit in this contention. It is common ground between counsel for the petitioner and the University’s counsel that in Ancient History II and Philosophy II all the questions answered by the petitioner marks have been awarded and the totaling is also correct, Therefore no interference is required in these papers.
It is therefore, directed that the Registrar of the Chatrapati Sahuji Maharaj, respondent No. 2 shall get reexamined the Ancient History Paper I and Political Science I. A writ of mandamus is issued to the respondent University to award average marks to the petitioner in Philosophy I Paper and Political Science II, The average marks will he calculated on the basis of revised marks which the petitioner obtains as a result of reexamination.
