Being aggrieved by the orders passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C).No.35098 of 2008, dated 27.11.2008, the petitioner in the writ petition has presented this Writ Appeal. (2) Petitioner is the Team Manager of a Drama Troop, which has got second prize in the District Level competition. Aggrieved by the action of the office bearers of the District Level competition, the petitioner had to file an appeal before the appellate authority. The said appeal is also rejected by Exhibit P1 order. (3) Aggrieved by the rejection of the appeal, the petitioner was before this Court in W.P.(C).No.35098 of 2008, inter alia, seeking a direction to the respondents, to permit the petitioner's Drama team to participate in the Kerala State Youth Welfare Board State Level Keralotsavam-2008. (4) The learned Single Judge has rejected the writ petition on the ground, that, the Regulation governing the competition would provide, that, the team which secures the first prize in the District Level competition can participate in the State Level competition. The learned Judge has also observed, that, the Regulations have no statutory force as such and, accordingly, has declined to entertain the writ petition. W.A.No.2371 of 2008 - 2 - (5) We have also carefully perused Exhibit P1 order passed by the appellate authority and also the orders passed by the learned Single Judge. In our considered opinion, we do not see any error, whatsoever, either in the order passed by the appellate authority or in the order passed by the learned Single Judge, which would call for our interference in appeal. Therefore, the Writ Appeal requires to be rejected and it is rejected. Ordered accordingly. H.L.Dattu Chief Justice A.K.Basheer Judge vku/-
