GENERAL CONVENOR, REVENUE DISTRICT SCHOOL KALOTSAVAM, CHATHANNOOR, KOLLAM - OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, KOLLAM, KOLLAM DISTRICT. 2. THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 3. THE GENERAL CONVENOR, KERALA STATE SCHOOL KALOTSAVAM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.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.38279/2008-F ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 30th day of December, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is placed second in the District School Kalotsavam. It is submitted that the difference between the petitioner and the first ranked candidate is 26. The main relief sought for in the writ petition is for a direction to the third respondent to allow him to participate in the item of Light Music in the State level school Kalotsavam scheduled to be held from 30th of this month. Even though the petitioner contends that Ext.P1 series will show that the petitioner had been meritorious to be placed as first, in the light of the fact that the petitioner is placed only second after due assessment of the performance, I do not think that this Court will be justified in sitting over in appeal against the decision of the Appeal Committee. The writ petition is dismissed. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
