Heard the learned counsel on either side.

2. The writ petitioner studied B.E., degree course in the third respondent College. He had successfully passed out also. It is stated that the petitioner's marks were not correctly awarded for his seventh semester. Anna University is taking the stand that the application for correction along with 2/5

correct data was not submitted in time and it was also not given through proper channel.

3. The petitioner is therefore permitted to submit a fresh representation to the third respondent. The third respondent shall forward the same along with the relevant data to the second respondent. The second respondent will not return the proposal on the ground that it has been belatedly submitted. If the data given by the third respondent are otherwise in order, then the second respondent will issue a revised marks statement to the writ petitioner. The petitioner undertakes to submit a representation within a period of two (2) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The third respondent will forward the proposal along with the relevant data to the second respondent within a period of two (2) weeks thereafter.

The second respondent shall take a call in the matter and dispose of the application within a period of four (4) weeks, after they receive the proposal from the third respondent. If the second respondent is satisfied that the case of the petitioner is well founded, then appropriate corrections shall be made, and a fresh degree certificate along with convocation certificate and corrected mark statement will be issued to the writ petitioner.
