In this writ petition, petitioner has sought for a direction to appoint a third valuer to value his examination answer scripts relating to Micro Biology theory-I & theory-II of 2nd year M.B.B.S. course of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. 2. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that, University conducted theory examination papers of M.B.B.S.

He submitted that the difference in percentage between two valuations in both the two papers stated above exceed 15% and therefore, both papers require to be referred to a third valuer as per the aforesaid Notification. 3. It is relevant to refer to the aforesaid Notification to the extent it is relevant to determine the question raised herein:- “Ref: Auth/III & V Valuation/208/201213 Date: 15/06/2012 NOTIFICATION ………………………………………………………………………… 1. TITLE & COMMENCEMENT: (i) This Ordinance may be called “Ordinance Governing Multiple valuation”.

As could be seen from the above Notification, if the difference in percentage of marks between two valuations relating to theory papers of Under Graduate courses is equal to or more than 15%, then such answer-scripts shall have to be referred to a third valuer. The difference in percentage between the two valuations will have to be determined on the basis of total marks awarded for each paper by each of the two valuers and not on the basis of marks awarded to a particular question by each of the two valuers. 5. It is not in dispute that theoryI & theoryII question papers consist of 100 marks each. In theory-I, first valuer has given 34 marks and second valuer has given 45.75 marks. In theory-II, first valuer has given 43 marks and second valuer has given 49.75 marks. The aforesaid marks awarded are for 100 marks, and, hence, they represent the percentage obtained. If that be so, the difference in percentage between the two valuers in each of the two papers will not be equal to or more than 15%. Therefore, the prayer for third valuation cannot be granted as per the Notification extracted above. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Petition dismissed.
