JUDGMENT
The petitioner's team participated in the event 'Thiruvathirakali' in the District Level School Kalolsavam and could secure only the third place. The appeal was rejected by the Appeal Committee as per Ext.P4 order allegedly without considering the contention that the evaluation of judges was not proper and hence the writ petition.
2. The learned Government Pleader submits on instructions that, there is no pith of substance in the contentions raised. There is a difference of 18 marks when compared with the 1st place. The video has been viewed and the ground of challenge is not correct or sustainable.
3. After going through the pleadings and proceedings and the submissions of 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.
P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE.
