GOVT.PLEADER SRI.DILEEP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 1441 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T In the Ernakulam District School Kalolsavam, petitioner participated in the item Kathakali. She secured 3rd prize with A Grade. Aggrieved by the above, she filed appeal and it was rejected by Ext.P2. The contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that during the course of the performance on the temporary stage, the crown which the petitioner was wearing fell down and that affected her performance. But on the petitioner's own showing, the judges permitted her to wear the crown and resume performance again, and if that be so, the fact that the crown slipped from her head could not have caused any prejudice. That apart Ext.P2 shows that, as between the first prize winner and the petitioner, there was a difference of 22 marks. 2. For these reasons and also for the reason that the first prize and second prize winners who will be affected if any order is passed in the writ petition have not been impleaded as parties, I am not persuaded to interfere. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
