JUDGMENT
The petitioner is a participant in the category of 'Tabala' held in Kannur Revenue District Kalolsavam. During performance, the mike had fallen down and thus his performance was not evaluated properly. He was awarded only the 3rd place with A Grade. The petitioner's further contention is that, the judges, who were empanelled to evaluate the competition were not fully qualified. The appeal filed by the petitioner was rejected and the video clipping was not viewed by the appeal committee. Hence the writ petition.
2. The learned Government Pleader submits on instructions that, no such incident was reported by the stage manager and that all the judges were well qualified and experienced. It is submitted that the Appeal committee has viewed the video clipping of the event and that the judges of the judging committee had evaluated the event in a uniform manner.
3. After going through the pleadings and proceedings and
W.P.(C) No.1045 of 2015 the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader, this Court finds that the petitioner has not established any tenable ground to call for interference.
Accordingly, interference is declined and the writ petition is dismissed.
