BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER LAKSHMI NARAYAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J ============================ W.P.(C).No.38161 of 2008 =========================== Dated this the 30th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P1 order passed by the Chairman of the Appeal Committee. The main ground for challenging Ext.P1 is that the appeal was dismissed without hearing the petitioner. It is also contended that the tarpaulin on the stage was not placed properly and therefore it caused inconvenience to the petitioner from dancing heavy steps with ease. Petitioner seeks for a direction to permit her to participate in the State Kalolsavam which is scheduled to be started today. Learned Government Pleader submitted that there is a difference of four marks between the petitioner and the person who stood as first. A reading of the order Ext.P1 shows that the Appellate Authority was of the view that there was no merit in the complaint. I do not find any merit in the challenge made against Ext.P1. The writ petition is dismissed. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,JUDGE dvs
