JUDGMENT

These writ petitions are filed by the students, who were taken part in the District Level Shasthrolsavam. They challenges decision of the appellate committee rejecting their objection regarding grading in the competition. The petitioners are also seeking a direction to permit them to participate in the Kerala State Shasthrolsavam to be held from tomorrow onwards. 2.

It is seen that some of the candidates have secured 'A Grade', but their grading vary from 7 to 21. It is also to be noted that only two participants from the District Level are allowed in the State level. Considering the scope of interference, this Court cannot show any indulgence to the petitioners. Accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed.
