Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, taking into consideration the Judgment dated 19.02.2026 in W.A.No.1372/2025, I am of the view that, this Court has already taken a decision that there is no relevant provision in the Regulations of the respondent-University for seeking periodical revaluation and therefore, no further orders are required to be made in this Writ Petition. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. Sd/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE sac List No.: 2 Sl No.: 16
