The petitioner participated in the English B.A Honours Part-III examination and according to her she did not obtain marks as per her expectation.

The petitioner prays for a direction upon the University of Calcutta for re-examination of four answer scripts.

The petitioner has set out the Rules and Regulations pursuant to which re-examination of answer scripts are conducted by the University.

¶13

In accordance with the aforesaid Regulation, the petitioner presently prays for re-examination of papers V and VII of her B.A. Honours Part-III examination.

¶14

As it appears that the Regulation of the University of Calcutta permits re-examination of two papers in respect of the candidates who have scored more than 30% in the remaining papers and as the petitioner has the qualifying marks accordingly, the instant writ petition is disposed of by directing the University to take steps for re-examining papers V and VII of the petitioner’s B.A. Honours English Part-III examination.

¶15

The re-examination shall be completed within a period of six weeks from date. The University shall intimate the fate of the re-examination to the petitioner immediately thereafter.
