She had filed an appeal and in view of the delay in lifting the curtains, performance was not up to the mark. 2. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that in the remarks column filled up by the judges, they have not been swayed by any such defect as pointed out by the petitioner. It is also submitted that there are two second prize winners and that the first prize winner had four marks more than the petitioner. It is also pointed out that the first prize winner has proved to be better by the judges. In view of the factual position as above, I do not think the writ petition merits any consideration and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
