The appeal filed by the petitioner also has been rejected by Ext. P1. 2. Petitioner submits that the judges were unqualified and that there has not been proper assessment of the performance. However, petitioner has not produced any material supporting these contentions. 3. That apart, it is now disclosed by the learned Govt. Pleader, on instruction, that the first prize winner had got 253 marks while the marks awarded to the petitioner is 236. It is also submitted that all the judges have unanimously assessed the first prize winner as the better performer. 4. If that be so, in the light of these facts I do not find any perversity in the matter warranting interference by this Court. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
