GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.37111 OF 2008 ------------------------------ Dated this the 16th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner, who is a participant in Mohiniyattam in the Sub District Level competition, has been given only the second place. She filed an appeal before the appellate committee. This was rejected as per Ext.P5 order. The same is challenged in this writ petition. 2. The principal contention taken up by the counsel for the petitioner is that the appellate order does not reflect the consideration of the grounds raised in the appeal. The appeal itself has not been placed on record. I am not inclined to consider the petitioner's contention on merit because there is nothing on record to show that the appellate committee had declined to consider the contentions raised by the petitioner even on a perfunctory basis. The writ petition is bereft of merit. Hence the same is dismissed. V.GIRI, JUDGE pac
