Going by Ext.P5 certificate, she secured only A grade. Appeal filed was rejected by Ext.P4 order. It is in these circumstances, the writ petition is filed. 2. The contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the first prize winner, who has not been impleaded in this writ petition as a party, hails from Kottayam Town itself, the venue of the Kalolsavam. 3. In my view, the residence of the first prize winner could not have in any manner influenced the prize, and therefore, I am not persuaded to accept this argument and interfere in the matter. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
