JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks for a direction to the respondents to permit her to participate in the State level Kalolsavam. She participated in the District level competition with the item 'Mono Act' (Girls). It is alleged that the audio system was weak and therefore the petitioner had to stand close to the micro phone while performing. She secured A grade in the event. But she could not get the First place. It is in these circumstances, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. Learned Govt. Pleader on instructions, submitted that the petitioner was assigned 6th placed with 216 marks, whereas the winning candidate obtained 227 marks. The allegations raised by the petitioner are not sufficient to interfere with the result of the competition. I do not find any ground to interfere with the same under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
