J U D G M E N T

The petitioner was a participant in the event 'Kerala Nadanam' in the Malappuram Revenue District School Kalolsavam, 2014-15 . The case of the petitioner is that though she performed well, she could not secure the first prize in the item and hence she is not in a position to compete in the State Level competition. In the said circumstance she preferred an appeal, which came to be rejected as borne by Ext.P4. The main ground raised in the appeal was that there was failure on the part of the judges who evaluated the event. The appeal was rejected observing that there was no pith or substance in the contentions in the appeal.

2. Heard the learned Government Pleader, who submits on the basis of the instruction received, that there was a substantial difference of '24' marks between the petitioner and the first prize winner. Appeal was rejected after viewing the video recording.

W.P.(C)No.1415 OF 2015 It is also added that the judging panel consists of competent, qualified and well experienced persons, who have awarded marks uniformly.

This Court finds that no tenable ground has been raised by the petitioner to call for interference. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as devoid of any merit. P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE lk
