PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/01/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C.NO. 34114 OF 2006 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner's grievance is that no prize is awarded to the petitioner, even though petitioner has secured A grade in Group Dance. Government Pleader submitted that petitioner's team got only fourth place and difference in marks between the petitioner's team and first prize winner's team is 14. Even though petitioner has raised various grounds with regard to constitution of Appellate Committee, problem with the stage, etc., I do not think there is any justification to interfere with the award of first prize because others who have got better prize than the petitioner have not raised any objection. W.P. is therefore dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
