TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 34419 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 21st day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is an 11th standard student in the St.Augustians Higher Secondary School, Karimkunnam, who participated in the item Daff Muttu. He got only second prize with A Grade. Thereupon he filed Ext.P3 appeal mainly complaining that the performance of the first prize winner was much inferior and that there were several mistakes committed. Appeal was considered by the Appellate Committee and rejected by Ext.P4 order. It is challenging Ext.P4 and for consequential reliefs, the writ petition is filed. 2. A reading of Ext.P4 order shows that the Appellate Committee examined the grievance of the petitioner and found them without any substance. It is also found that the petitioner's performance was inferior and it was therefore that he was awarded only second prize. 3. Nothing has been placed before this Court to find that the conclusions of either the Judges or the Appellate Committee is erroneous. That apart, the first prize winner is also not made a WPC No.34419/11 :2 : party in this writ petition rendering the writ petition defective for non jointer of necessary parties. I am not persuaded to interfere. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
